Update: Added some specific details as translated by Gematsu:

– Different forensic sciences in Ace Attorney 6
– This is what Ema Skye specializes in
– “3D Fingerprint Detection” is one of these
– This adds a new element to the “Fingerprint Detection” introduced in past entries
– In order to collect fingerprints, you’ll need to apply a special powder to the place where fingerprints might be located
– Next, blow it away for the fingerprints to appear
– Repeat this several times to get a clear fingerprint
– Can rotate the evidence 360 degrees in every directio
– Focus and apply powder to the locations likely touched by the culprit’s hands
– Each person has a unique fingerprint
– Find the same fingerprint as the one you identified from a list of characters to identify its owner
– Once the fingerprint you applied powder to becomes clear, you’ll first choose the fingerprint to be compared
– This will be displayed on the left side of the upper screen
– You’ll then compare the detected fingerprint with similar fingerprints from a list of characters, which are displayed to the right of the detected fingerprint
– If you can recognize the fingerprint, various new facts will come to light
