Assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Rory Wells, Co-Chair of the VR/AR Association’s Criminal Justice Committee, had the opportunity to speak with students at the Irwin Altman Middle School 172 in Floral Park, NY on Thursday June 15, 2017.
School Media Specialist and Librarian Margaret Borger invited Rory to speak with students researching new technology. The students were looking at how developing technology will continue to affect all areas of our life with one group choosing law and criminal justice as a focus.
Rory spoke on current topics in criminal justice and potential criminal applications for new technology such as virtual reality, augmented reality and the use of 360-degree cameras for investigations.
The student interaction was high with lots of questions and it was a great visit overall. “We are at the point where advanced technology is organic to this coming generation, what they are starting with today, we only dreamed about. The next three to five years will move at lightning speed”, says Assistant Prosecutor Rory Wells (Ocean County, NJ).
