1. A forensic ballistic analysis method comprising steps of:
providing a virtual reality viewer shaped to be worn by an operator;
providing a computer connected to the virtual reality viewer, wherein the computer comprises program means configured to:
acquire three-dimensional identification data of a bullet/shell fired by a firearm,
display, by means of the virtual reality viewer, the bullet/shell reconstructed within a three-dimensional virtual environment,
wherein the program means allow the operator to replicate movements of the operator in the three-dimensional virtual environment in order to move a three-dimensional reconstruction of the bullet/shell in a virtual space.
