The solution: POPS: A POrtable Photo Studio
We aim to provide an adaptable, cheap and compact set of tools that will help photographers to take pictures easier and faster.
We are working on a convenient, ready-to-use, portable and modular photo studio to take efficient forensic pictures to provide quick and reliable body identification after natural disasters.
After natural disasters with thousands of victims, officials are often left with no other choice than burying or burning dead bodies without identifying the person. This causes additional pain to the relatives, but also creates a difficult legal and financial situation. Improving the visual identification toolset of forensic disaster teams would make their work more efficient and will leave less families in uncertainty.
