Virtual Reality Expert Witnesses
What is a virtual reality expert witness?
Virtual reality expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience and knowledge in virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, user interface design, computer graphics, software engineering, and/or immersive technology. Virtual reality expert witnesses are technical experts in AI, sensors, and/or motion tracking.
What types of cases require a virtual reality expert witness?
Virtual reality matters that require technical expertise typically involve intellectual property, such as patent infringement or trade secret misappropriation. Virtual reality can also be used by law enforcement, such as for recreating a crime scene.
Virtual reality is an emerging technology that combines humans’ senses with a computer-generated environment, creating a virtual world. Virtual reality systems typically utilize virtual reality headsets to generate images and sounds that simulate a user’s presence in an alternate environment. Entertainment using virtual reality is very popular, including video games and 3D movies, sporting events, and music videos. In addition to entertainment, other virtual reality applications include: architecture, training, medicine, and the Arts. Related to virtual reality technology are augmented reality technology and mixed reality (MR). Augmented reality is an experience where parts of a users’ real-world environment are combined with digital content. Mixed reality combines augmented reality and virtual reality whereby digital content interacts with the users’ real world. An example of a mixed reality product is the Microsoft HoloLens smart glasses.
What litigation support work might a virtual reality expert witness be expected to perform?
Litigation support by a virtual reality expert witness could include technology review, research and authoring expert reports, providing expert opinions, and expert witness testimony at deposition and at trial. In addition, clients often seek a virtual reality industry expert for pre-litigation consulting work. While many experts have virtual reality expertise, an expert witness carries the additional responsibility of providing expert testimony before the court in a manner whereby jurors can understand the technology and digital evidence. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a technical expert with prior expert witness experience.

As an expert in over 20 computer software languages, including assembly language [TMS1000, AMI S2000, 6502, 65816, 6800, Z80, 8080, etc], C, C++, Java, Javascript, Objective C, Lingo, Swift, and others, this expert has performed extensive source code analysis and reverse engineering from object code to source code. This expert has development experience with embedded systems utilizing ROM-based software. As an early pioneer in the handheld electronic toy and video game industries, this expert designed software on systems where the delivery mechanism was ROM-based cartridges. This expert also has strong knowledge of microprocessor and microcontroller architectures used in embedded systems, having designed the hardware and software of early microcontroller-based handheld electronic products. This expert designed, developed and coded one of the earliest tokenized interpretive languages for a commercially released software product. The architecture of the language was based on processor-independent, bytecode "object code," which was compiled on-the-fly during program design and interpreted in real-time by an assembly language-based virtual machine. The language was highly optimized, allowing for the development of real-time, graphic-intensive applications executing at 15 frames per second (on 8-bit hardware). This expert has been retained as an expert and accepted by the court in over 25 patent infringement cases, on both the plaintiff and defendant sides. This expert has written numerous reports on patent infringement and non-infringement, validity/invalidity and claim construction, been deposed over 25 times and has testified in court or at an arbitration hearing seven times. Outside of this expert's expertise in video games, this expert has worked on numerous other cases involving software development for general applications, including image processing, vector graphics, virtual reality, embedded control systems for location-based amusement machines, and a handheld language translator.
