FSA LLC is an IT company that develops simulation software for public safety professionals, investigators, and forensic experts. Their main product is the SIAR software package, which has two parts: (1) a mobile app that collects and records data on the scene of an incident using augmented reality, and (2) a desktop app that allows users to simulate and visualize the collected data to create realistic 3D models and interactive training simulations. The software is intended to automate documentation of law enforcement work and provide virtual reality simulation training to reduce costs compared to live training. FSA is seeking partners and investors to help expand the software's capabilities and access new markets.

Value proposition
Automation and documentation of law enforcement
work and a various personnels of public safety is a
effective and ergonomic means of documenting
crime and other incident scenes. Secondly, virtual
reality simulation provides essential training on
difficult incidents in repeatable scenarios of different
scales. By reducing the reliance on live training,
virtual reality simulation can reduce the costs of
resources personnel, props and travel costs and
training spaces. Benefits of virtual reality simulation:
possibility of creating complex and repeatable
incidents/accidents of any scale with the fully
controlled of parameters and conditions of training;
flexibility of cases modeling - different environments
and objects from a database can instructors use;
time saving and costs; sustainability with the
reducing of the environmental footprint and
influence on human community.

This software is special virtual simulators for situational modeling investigative actions on the

12. 11Software Package “SIAR” (“Scene of Incident: Augmented Reconstruction”)
Simulation-based Learning, "Serious Games", Immersive Education, VR/AR
"immersive learning" in terms of Gartner IT Glossary: "learning situations that are constructed
using a variety of techniques and software tools, including game-based learning, simulation-
based learning and virtual 3D worlds".
So, one of the operating mode "Editor" allows to create (and to edit) scenarios and scenes of
incidents, accidents, cases, crime scenes for learning activities in realistic 3D virtual
environment. To do this at the disposal of the instructor or practitioner employer exist a
library of ready-made objects (more than 500 different objects, tools offenses, evidences),
and places of incidents (apartments, buildings, subways, special objects - ship, plane, train,
etc.). This mode meets the definition of «simulation-based learning».
«Simulation-based learning» in terms of Ambient Insight (2016) is a knowledge transfer
method that based on the "simulation" (not based on "competition"):
(1) the actions, manipulations and experiments with material objects or environmental
conditions and physical processes ("the acquisition of knowledge about the nature of
something");
(2) the implementation of procedures, the creation of situations, action in situations
("receiving skills to do something"). We think there are: "serious games", "situational
constructors".
For the operating mode "Editor", we can talk about the practical significance. As is known, the
investigator-criminalist has 2 major tasks:
(1) As accurately as possible to fix the scene of crime or picture of incident, in order to preserve
for themselves the possibility of retrospective simulation (first of all, a thought experiment)
at every step of the investigation. After the event is happened, it represented in present time
only just in traces, evidences, static photos or videos (which limited in opportunities of
reconstruction). And later this event can't be "recreated" and impossible to return to event in
reality;
(2) To build a version about "what’s happened" (perspective simulation). This perspective
simulation is constantly updated because of changes in volume of facts, details, evidences.
The possibility for "thought experiment" gets a more difficult. Therefore, it is very important
that the incident could gain visibility. Ideally, investigator can be "play" past event in different
versions, in the form of "re-created patterns" present in the present time. Also such models
can be available to the participants of the investigation and legal proceedings.
"Editor" mode allows to simulate unique scenarios of incidents and on this basis to develop
various versions about event. Thus, the investigator can not only produce a "reconstruction"
of incident (to carry out a retrospective simulation), but also to visualize a various version of
"what’s happened" (perspective simulation). It's not just addition and expansion for the
"thought experiment" but qualitatively more high level of the investigator's work.
The second mode of operation ("Trainee") is designed to work with the prepared scenarios of
incidents ("case"). In this kind of program like a "quest" for the passage of which is necessary
to study in detail the "unique" situation of "case" and go through all the steps of investigation.
Trainee must to find evidences, make their removal and packaging, make inspection of
victims, photographic images and measurements, fix information in the document templates
(protocols) and etc. This mode can be identified how «game-based learning».
"Immersive" in this mode strengthened through ability to use virtual reality head-mounted
(Oculus Rift and the like). The implementation of the interface adapted for the VR head-
mounted is not only an order of magnitude increases the level of "immersive" in the "case"

(and the effectiveness of training), but also causes additional great interest (motivation) of
students and trainees. Also, software package has combined interactive e-learning system and
the automatic monitoring system of knowledge (including testing and control of performance
statistics of educational tasks). The instructor can create a "case" and to add, at its discretion,
additional photos, video, training materials to specific objects, tools, evidences.
