FAQ
What exactly is Simulacro?
Simulacro is a virtual-reality software designed for audiovisual professionals and students to plan, rehearse, and organize their productions in a virtual environment before going into a real set or location. It’s like running a rehearsal of your production—saving time and enhancing creativity.
Who is Simulacro for?
Simulacro is designed for:
- Educational institutions that want to train using virtual sets identical to real studios.
- Audiovisual professionals (directing, production, cinematography, screenwriting…).
If you work with cameras, sets, or lighting, Simulacro is for you.
What do I need to use Simulacro?
You only need a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3s headset and an active Simulacro license. Once installed, you can access the virtual sets and collaborate in real time with other users.
How much does the license cost?
The Simulacro license costs €500 per headset per year, including all updates released during that period. We offer volume discounts and free trial periods so you can test how Simulacro fits into your institution before implementation.
How do I install the application?
Download it directly from the Meta platform inside the headset. Once your user is registered in our database, we will provide the link and instructions.
What can I do inside Simulacro?
Simulate audiovisual production environments across four virtual spaces: three filming sets and one sound lab. Experiment in real time with cameras, lighting, and directing, recreating real production situations collaboratively before going to set.
What educational benefits does it offer?
Simulacro enables students to rotate roles and practice directing, camera, lighting, and other production profiles in a supervised environment. It promotes experiential learning and removes the physical and logistical limitations of real-world shoots.
What new features are in development?
Throughout 2026 we will add:
- Customizable set design and virtual scenography
- Improvements to virtual-actor dynamic control
- An experimental system for spatial audio and integrated sound sources
