Why isn’t anybody talking about this app?

This is seriously awesome! Very simple, very well done, and an amazing concept. And most of all, it’s free! It’s a fantastic little demo for the Vision Pro and it doesn’t cost a penny. No in app purchases or anything. Seriously, try this out. Even if it only gives you a few minutes of entertainment it’s really cool to see. Amazing concept.

I‘m a bat.

This is cool and a very creative use of Lidar! I will use this app like a party trick and to show people what lidar can do.
A feature I miss is the ability to turn off the Camera feed to see the echo responses only.

Also wish the delay would be less.

cool bat sim! needs tones

outstanding and very creative application of LIDAR tech! its amazing to use and see enhanced vision!! please consider adding tones or sound options to represent sonar-like pulses OR use both mic’s to approximate sound source location? just thinkin’ out loud. thanx dev(s)!

Black screen nothing more

Sadly no function on visionOS 2

Awesome app

This app is awesome for listening to music. It would be really cool if you could just what the visuals look like for example just having the dots bouncing or changing the pattern that comes on
