A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle describes a Stanford lab working on a virtual reality replacement of the standard police lineup. By using multidimensional VR images and video, suspect profiles can be manipulated so that witnesses can see them in the context of the crime, how suspects would look in different clothing or with different hairstyles, or from any angle or distance.
Other research topics explored by the Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab: diversity simulation, social networking, weight perception, learning in immersive environments, emotion abstraction, and avatar identity.
