Spatial Continuum
This tool visualizes electromagnetic field data, transforming it into spatially positioned orb markers that indicate magnitude, direction, and persistence. It helps investigators understand significant field changes and observe activity development over time. Bonus instruments for entropy mapping and environmental data are included.
- Differential magnetometer visualization
- Spatially positioned orb markers
- Magnitude, direction, and persistence encoding
- Continuous anomaly score
- EMF Entropy visualization
- Schumann Resonance reference
- On-Site Metrics panel

Spatial Continuum™ is a differential magnetometer visualization and directional-awareness system that transforms live electromagnetic field data into persistent, spatially positioned orb markers — encoding magnitude, direction, rate of change, and event persistence into a readable field narrative that a conventional spike graph cannot provide. A baseline reference state is established at the beginning of each session. Every subsequent event is measured as a deviation from that anchor, with lateral axes amplified for spatial expressiveness and the vertical axis damped to reduce noise caused by normal device handling. Each generated orb carries its own event information, including timestamp, directional heading, magnitude, and tier classification — Minor, Anomalous, Rare, and Extreme — with classifications governing on-screen persistence from approximately 3.5 to 30 seconds. The CPI Engine produces a continuous anomaly score between 0.0 and 1.0. Higher-scoring events generate increasingly persistent visual markers, allowing investigators to identify significant field changes and observe where activity developed, how rapidly it changed, and how long it remained present. This is not visualization for atmosphere. It is a differential field-awareness instrument built to turn changing magnetometer data into a persistent spatial record. The field has direction. Now you can see it. Not made for entertainment. Patent-pending EMF and cognitive phase instrumentation — USPTO Provisional #63/942,408 & #63/947,185. --- BONUS INSTRUMENTS — INCLUDED FREE EMF Entropy™ A physics-driven electromagnetic visualization instrument that applies real-time entropy mapping to live magnetometer data. EMF Entropy™ analyzes changing magnetic-field behavior and generates a continuously evolving waveform rather than displaying a prerecorded or randomly animated signal. A 7.83Hz Schumann Resonance reference is incorporated into the visualization system to give investigators an additional comparative reference during field sessions. Coherent, turbulent, and fragmented waveform behavior can be observed as environmental magnetic conditions change. On Site Metrics™ A location-aware environmental and astronomical intelligence panel providing investigation context including temperature, cloud cover, UV index, solar radiation, irradiance, sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset, moon phase, and lunar illumination percentage. Location is used for local environmental data requests and astronomical calculations. Investigation data is not transmitted. Both bonus instruments are included at no additional cost. This is instrumentation. This is research. This is Ghost Hunter Apps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop at Free against Spatial Continuum's $9.99. Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop also leads on ratings volume (570 vs 2). Spatial Continuum's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop is free to download; Spatial Continuum costs $9.99 up front. Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Spatial Continuum asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spatial Continuum holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop has 570 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
