The application adapts easily to different courses and teaching methodologies. As an example, here is a proposal for teaching lighting fundamentals inside a virtual environment.
Simulacro works in the classroom as a virtual lab for audiovisual experimentation, mirroring the workflow of real shooting environments and promoting collaboration and real-time decision-making.
Its flexibility also allows for individual work, previsualization for advanced students, or remote-learning scenarios.
The proposed methodology combines physical presence and virtual work. Groups of around 12 students are formed: 6 work in the physical space (camera, directing, lighting) and 6 work virtually, operating cameras and lights in the simulated set.
Two virtual groups can also work simultaneously, reaching 18 or more participants and creating interactive dynamics across remote but synchronized teams.
Usability tests conducted between 2024 and 2026 show highly positive feedback. Students highlight ease of use, technical clarity, and the value of hybrid collaboration between physical and virtual spaces.
Recent improvements have enhanced workflow fluidity and user autonomy, reinforcing Simulacro’s potential as an innovative learning environment.
Improvements introduced in recent versions have enhanced the fluidity of the experience and increased user autonomy. Overall, the results reinforce Simulacro’s suitability as an innovative educational environment and its potential to expand into new subjects and teaching contexts.
