Final published version, 485 KB, PDF document
The article suggests that we may use the forensic term crime scene in order to understand the concept of augmentet reality. The crime scene is an encoded place due to certain actions and events which have taken place and which have left various traces which in turn may be read and interpreted: blood, nails, hair are all (DNA) codes to be cracked as are traces of gun powder, shot holes, physical damage: they are all readable and interpretable signs. As augmented reality the crime scene carries a narrative which at first is hidden and must be revealed. Due to the process of investigation and the detective's ability to reason and deduce, the crime scene as place is reconstructed as virtual space which may be (re-)told as part of solving the crime, that is (re-)telling the course of events and thus revealing the murder mystery and finding the murderer.
