Investigation Discovery explores VR

US network Investigation Discovery has launched a “virtual reality experience” to accompany the third season of A Crime to Remember.

Investigation Discovery’s A Crime to Remember

The channel’s first foray into VR is a website that presents a virtual crime scene that users can navigate through by the touch of their mouse or a turn of their phone.

After they find all the clues and get the real facts, users can take a behind-the-scenes look at the series and get previews of forthcoming cases.

The website, ACrimeToRemember.com, launched ahead of the return of A Crime to Remember on the network in the US this evening.

The eight-part series showcases some of the most compelling crimes that took place in the US from the 1930s the ’70s.

“This virtual reality experience will transport viewers directly into a carefully crafted crime scene investigation from a not-so-innocent age,” said Kevin Bennett, general manager of Investigation Discovery.
