Exhibit Visuals:

-- Investigate three crime scenes: a suburban living room, a hotel alley,
and a remote desert. Each scene represents a very different crime
mystery. Go through the exhibit to identify and gather evidence;
analyze materials with the help of the latest scientific and
technological advances and formulate hypotheses about the crime.

-- Explore two separate crime labs where you can interact with the
state-of-the-art technology used in evidence analysis. Trace vehicle
tracks, clothing fibers, and paint chips. Collect data from mass
spectrometry and microscope analysis. Evaluate digital evidence
provided by cell phones, fingerprints, blood patterns, and ammunition
casings.

-- Examine forensic art and use age progression techniques to assist in
matching an image with a victim. At the end of the exhibit, use the
scientific information you gathered to answer a survey, and a case
summary of everything you have gathered will be generated.
