EchoVision vs Pawsight

EchoVision is an interactive mixed reality art experience that simulates bat echolocation using custom-designed, handheld, bat-shaped masks based on the open-source HoloKit headset. As users initiate sounds, they experience echolocation—the remarkable navigation method bats employ in darkness—through visual representations of propagating echoes mapped onto the real-world 3D shape of the surrounding environment, scanned in real-time by the LiDAR sensor of a smartphone mounted on the masks. By providing a unique glimpse into how non-human creatures perceive their sensory world, EchoVision promotes an ecocentric design perspective, fostering interspecies understanding and appreciation.

Ever wondered what your cat or dog actually sees? Pawsight turns your iPhone into a window into your pet's world — live through the camera and on any video you choose. Cats and dogs don't see colors the way we do. Their eyes pick up a different slice of the world - softer, simpler, and tuned for movement and contrast. Pawsight recreates that experience so you can finally see what they see. — LIVE PET VIEW — Open the camera and watch your living room, your backyard, or your pet's favorite toy transform in real time. Switch between cat and dog vision with a tap. Save a snapshot whenever something looks magical. — CONVERT YOUR VIDEOS — Pick any video from your library and turn it into a cat-eye or dog-eye version, with audio preserved. Save the result to Photos or share it with friends and family. Your original video is never touched. — GROUNDED IN VISION SCIENCE — Pawsight is built on the LMS color model used in real research on dichromatic animal vision. Cats see mainly through long and short cones; dogs blend long and middle cones. The result is the closest you can get on a phone to walking around in your pet's eyes. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Everything happens on your device. No accounts. No cloud uploads. No tracking of your media. — FEATURES — • Real-time live camera with cat or dog vision • Convert any video from your photo library • Convert any photo from your photo library, original resolution preserved • Preserved audio on converted videos • Save snapshots and share converted clips • Cat and dog modes, switchable anytime • Works fully offline • Available in English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Polish, Turkish, Danish, and Simplified Chinese This is an artistic interpretation, not a medical tool. Real animal vision involves more than color - field of view, motion sensitivity, and night vision all play a role. Pawsight focuses on the color and contrast difference, which is the part you can actually feel when you look through the lens. If you're curious about your cat or dog, an animal lover, a biology student, or just someone who wants to see your dog's tennis ball the way they do - give Pawsight a try.
