    The aim of a jury trial is to recreate a moment of history with sufficient detail to let a people decide what the truth is. But unless there's video footage of the event, it can often be difficult to visualize just what went on. It's a puzzle that documentarian and VR pioneer Nonny De la Peña is hoping to tackle with her new project, One Dark Night, a VR app that recreates a crime scene with as much official evidence as possible. Her first subject matter may be disturbing to many, however, as it concerns the controversial shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin.
