🧪 Photography Photography Equipment Simulation

Interactive camera-equipment simulator: swap lens focal length and sensor format on a real 3D set, auto-dolly to keep the subject framed, and watch how equipment choices alone compress or expand the background — with live FOV, distance and crop-factor readouts.

Camera bodies and lenses are equipment choices, and this simulator isolates the single biggest one: focal length combined with sensor format. Pick a lens on a real 3D set with a subject and a row of fixed background markers, choose Full-Frame, APS-C or Micro Four Thirds, and watch the "auto-dolly" logic move the virtual camera back or forward so the subject keeps filling the same part of the frame — exactly what a photographer does when they zoom or change lenses and reposition. The background compression that results is computed live from real field-of-view and distance formulas, not a canned animation, alongside 35mm-equivalent focal length, camera distance and a thin-lens depth-of-field estimate for the chosen aperture.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation explores the functionality and characteristics of various photography equipment, such as cameras and lenses. It demonstrates how different equipment choices affect image quality and photographic outcomes.
