# Blur

Blur Effect allows a user to place in a blur object that will blur anything seen on the other side.

The "Blur Effect" VO can be placed into a simulation to achieve a censoring effect. It blurs anything seen on the other side of it.

* The blur effect is only shown in experience mode.
* An author can change the size of the blur effect by changing the scale of the Blur Effect VO.
