The following is an excerpt from ScienceGL brochure for their new software using mathematical algorithms and virtual reality to compare fingerprints recovered at a crime scene with those of a suspect.

"Designed for detailed forensic print biometrics, Fingerprint 3D comparator significantly improves difficult case identification. The 3D comparator combines virtual reality visual perception with scientific-grade precision in quantitative interactive reports. The software is a unique combination of traditional 2D and advanced 3D fingerprint enhancement algorithms."

Do you believe that this is the science of the future? Will it replace AFIS/IAFIS? Will it eliminate the need for multiple fingerprint examiners to review each card? Do you think that this will greatly reduce errors in fingerprint comparison? If so, how? Alternately, do you foresee any problems with this technology? Explain.
