## Description

**Thermal Camera VR: Sim/Prank** lets you explore your surroundings in virtual reality using thermal camera effects. It supports Gen 3 Flir USB cameras for real thermal imaging or offers simulated thermal views without hardware. Use the app with a VR headset featuring a camera cutout to enjoy side-by-side views with various thermal profiles.

Key features include camera flash support, front camera usage, hardware camera button integration, multiple thermal effects, volume control for effect changes in VR mode, video recording, and temperature metering with Flir devices. Images and videos are saved in the DCIM/ILVrCameraThermal folder. In-app purchases unlock additional effects. Note: Without Flir USB hardware, the app simulates thermal views and does not detect actual infrared heat.
