Virtual and Augmented Reality in Jurisprudence and Justice: Issues, Prospects and Import
Abstract
The current stage of social development in Russia is characterized by the emergence of long-term reference points, with regulation playing a crucial role in the process. It delimits and guides the use of high-technology products and services in the socio-economic sphere, governmental and judiciary system. This has brought about the perception of benefits and underlying risks of digital technologies, a problem equally vital for individuals, business community and public law institutions. The article is focused on the aspects of integrating specialized software into the national system of law and order for creating virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality. It provides evidence for the author’ view that the said software is able to improve technological culture in Russia through visualization of real world objects while providing new opportunities to optimize different sectors such as justice system, public services and education. Based on analysis of the acting law and author’s own findings, the article contains proposals to develop field-specific software and to improve level of legal system in general. A special focus is made on consolidating governance and coordination mechanisms for the judiciary system and society as a requirement for seamless implementation of promising digital technologies.
