Automated Evidence Presentation

In courtrooms 250 and 260:

You can place a piece of evidence in a single location in the courtroom. An image of that piece of evidence is displayed on monitors for counsel, court, witness, and the jury to see. What's more, all people in the courtroom are looking at the exhibit from the same perspective.
You can selectively display the exhibit to any or all of the people listed above.
In cases with a large number of documents, you can scan documents and store them on a personal computer (including Macintosh) and call them up with a few keystrokes.
You can ask witnesses to annotate an exhibit, retain the original without annotations, keep a copy with the annotations, and do all this without managing multiple photocopies or leaving the courtroom.
You can play video tapes without renting VCR's and TVs. The court participants can watch the video tape over the same monitors that they view exhibits.
While watching a video tape you can freeze a frame, and annotate the video.
You can run computer animated accident reenactments right from your computer.
Do you have an audio tape that is hard to hear? You can enhance the jury's understanding of the a recorded conversation by using a computer to link a transcript of the conversation with the audio recording.
You can use presentation software to enhance your arguments.
