Magic Hour is a New VR Photography Simulator
London-based design studio Wolf in Motion has launched Magic Hour, a new VR experience that lets you do advanced photography in a virtual world.
The developers aimed to recreate the physics of a real camera or lens, but the fact that it’s a VR simulation means you can use combinations that aren’t available to photographers in the real world (e.g. a 6-150mm f/1.4 lens).
Here are some sample photos shot inside Magic Hour:
Here’s a short video showing what the simulation is like:
“While professional and amateur photographers will have fun experimenting in ways they have never been able to with a physical camera, newcomers will be able to learn the technical aspects of photography through a rewarding interactive experience,” the developers say.
Magic Hour is currently available in early access for about $3.50 over on Steam. You’ll need an HTC Vive VR headset to enjoy the simulation.
