Realtime 3D graphics is a service provided by Legal Depiction specifically tailored for courtroom trials or mediation proceedings. This service involves the creation and presentation of three-dimensional visual content in real-time, designed to enhance the courtroom experience and facilitate a better understanding of complex legal concepts and evidence.
Here’s how Legal Depiction’s Realtime 3D graphics service can be utilized in a courtroom or mediation setting:
VISUALIZING ACCIDENTS OR CRIME SCENE RECONSTRUCTIONS: Legal Depiction can create realistic 3D visualizations of crime scenes or accident reconstructions based on available evidence.

For example, in a personal injury case, an interactive visualization can help the viewer understand how an accident occurred and the resulting injuries but also grasp the “What IF” Scenarios. Helping the audience understand the sequence of events and the potential impact on the individuals involved is the goal.
ENHANCING PRESENTATION AND EXHIBITS: Our Realtime 3D graphics service can enhance courtroom presentations and exhibits. By incorporating interactive visual content, animations, or reconstructions, attorneys can engage the audience, simplify complex information, and present a more compelling case.

Daniel M. O’Leary
“It was clear from the Animations that our Client was NOT at fault and the jury saw that! They returned a DEFENSE VERDICT after 20 MINUTES of Deliberations. Nice work... We will be using you soon. Thanks again!”

“The Animations created depicted the true lighting conditions at the time of the accident. As a result, we were able to show that the Pedestrain was at fault in this case. We look forward to working with Legal Depiction again in the future.’’
Ted M. Lee
The Legal Depiction team begins building a technical foundation with a one-on-one discussion to review the parameters of each case to determine the approach. Whether it’s an accident reconstruction, product liability or personal injury case, each scenario needs to be told accurately and effectively. Some cases require static graphics, while others benefit from 3D animation or an interactive presentation.
At this point, crucial questions begin to be answered, such as identifying the intended audience of the visualization. Trial graphics must be admissible and therefore demand a factual presentation. Arbitration and mediation call for a different visual strategy that utilizes emotion to help make an impactful statement.
The Legal Depiction team prides themselves on their consultative approach that guides the client to the right solution. With over two decades of entertainment experience, we provide the storytelling method that will most effectively support the case.
