On August 16, 2019, it will be 20 years since I discovered Bloodstain Pattern Analysis.

If it does not rejuvenate me, it allows me to see all the progress that has been made.

From a stammering discipline, it is today known and even recognized by the magistrates.

In recent years the hard sciences have invested the field to explain the main principles and allow a more rigorous foundation.

The accreditation that I succeeded in 2014 and that I renew this year ensures to our customers that the work carried out follows a real methodology.

This anniversary leads me to go back to look at how far I have come and to see that BPA must always progress.

The theme of this year’s conference is Putting Research into Practice.

Any research should include the suggested pathways of transition outcomes in implementation for file processing. The case studies should include research that could further assist similar cases in the future.

Reconstitution of facts using the modeled place because the real no longer exists.

The term “virtual reality” (or immersive multimedia or computer simulated reality) refers to a computer technology that simulates the physical presence of a user in an artificially generated software environment.

It creates a real or imaginary environment in which the user can interact. It can explore an environment, manipulate objects or perform a series of actions in a virtual world.

The purpose of virtual reality is to conduct a sensorimotor and cognitive activity in a digitally created world, which can be “imaginary, symbolic or a simulation of certain aspects of the real world” (extract from the Virtual Reality Treatise, P. Fuchs)

Virtual reality is not to be confused with augmented reality, which adds virtual elements in a real environment whereas virtual reality virtually creates a real or imaginary environment.

I am very proud to announce the release of my book edited by Presses polytechniques et universitaires romandes. The book lists the tools, information and methods to perform a BPA objectively. An atlas and a key of identifications are even presented.
