Incorporating modern technology to combat crime can enhance law enforcement capabilities. Therefore, the study explored the application of Virtual Reality (VR) in investigative procedures. First, it examined the use of VR in improving strength of remembrance which was assessed by BEOS. Second, it explored effectiveness of virtual reality eye-tracking for repeated versus novel stimuli. Sixty participants were divided into three groups to either perform a mock crime, or view it in VR, or both. Results indicate the potential effectiveness of VR in collaboration with BEOS, by confirming that VR significantly bolstered strength of remembrance and revealed distinct eye movement patterns.
