Over more than 30 years of working in geospatial forensic recreations, Mark Johnson has used everything from hand measurements and total stations to photogrammetry and point clouds captured with 3D laser scanning. As a former trial lawyer and now CEO of the 3D forensic visualization and animation firm Visual Law, Johnson understands the critical value of data quality. With the help of Leica Geosystems technology like the Leica RTC360 laser scanner, Mark enhances the accuracy and speed of crime and accident scene investigations.

"We’re particularly impressed with the solutions we have with our Leica hardware and software because it provides a complete environment. It’s hard to describe one without the other, as they’re designed together and work seamlessly."

In this video, we showcase how Mark and his team use Leica technology to document complex scenes in a fraction of the time it would take with older methods.

From working with top law firms on high-profile civil and criminal cases to creating realistic, courtroom-ready reconstructions, learn how the optimized scanning and data processing workflows at Visual Law make a difference. Using the RTC360 laser scanner and REGISTER360 software, Mark’s team captures high-quality point clouds and HDRI imagery to provide accurate and detailed evidence for legal cases.
