VR Cybercrime Scene Investigation Lab

The VR Cybercrime Scene Investigation Lab is an innovative project that aims to connect theoretical knowledge with practical skills in digital forensics training. Traditional methods like lectures and case studies provide limited chances for hands-on investigation. To fix this, the Cybercop Project creates an immersive virtual reality environment where students take on the role of investigators dealing with advanced cybercrimes. Learners can explore realistic simulated crime scenes, including hacker workspaces and compromised offices. They collect and analyze digital evidence such as USB drives, phishing emails, and suspicious server logs. The lab also includes a live-mode forensic kit management system with real-time feedback, which helps students understand the correct procedures. By combining VR technology, interactive content, and scenario-based learning, the project offers a cost-effective, scalable, and engaging platform that not only improves forensic skills but also develops critical thinking, problemsolving abilities, and readiness for real-world cybersecurity challenges.
