What people say about the courtrooms
Testimonials from user testing
"I had my first real courtroom experience the other day where I had to give evidence and although I was still extremely anxious, the fear of the unknown was somewhat removed!
I think without the Virtual Courtroom experience before actually attending court, I would have been a lot more anxious and would not have known what to expect".
Police Apprentice
"I think it could be very useful software (virtual courtroom), both in academia and outside of that. If not, academia at degree level, bar school or anywhere else for advocacy in general".
OU Student
"I found the virtual environment interactive and engaging, you could walk around, it made it more realistic, and I thought that was a big factor of why I really enjoyed using the virtual court. It really felt like you were present, it felt like you were in the room. You heard background noises, even having to walk to the courtroom. That I felt, was really great".
