「夜视仪」is a mobile image‑enhancement utility built for low‑light and complex‑lighting night‑time scenarios. It integrates image optimization, observation assistance, data display and media saving to fulfill observation needs in dim environments. Core Features: • Multi‑mode Visual Enhancement Multi‑mode visual enhancement includes night‑vision, thermal imaging and infrared modes. Choose from emerald, phosphor‑white and amber phosphorescent styles. Adjust brightness and contrast to identify surroundings clearly under varying dim‑light conditions. • Image Interactive Controls Supports 1‑5x digital zoom, motion‑object tracking and flashlight fill‑light. Adjust view via gestures or on‑screen controls. The app auto‑highlights moving objects; turn on fill‑light in extreme darkness to tune your view and capture moving targets. • Professional HUD Data Display Real‑time HUD shows latitude & longitude, device attitude angles and remaining battery. Check location, device tilt and battery status at a glance to monitor your observation position and device conditions. • High‑quality Media Capture Record live footage with HUD overlays or take one‑tap high‑definition screenshots saved locally. Preserve observation records for later review. This all‑in‑one tool covers the full workflow of low‑light observation with intuitive operations.

About

Ear Sonar

Features
Read full description

Ear Sonar is an accessibility app that helps people who are blind or have low vision sense nearby space. It uses the iPhone’s rear LiDAR to scan what’s ahead, then turns that depth into spatial audio—or haptics—so you can “hear” the environment. What you can hear • Distance: nearer sounds arrive sooner, denser, or higher in pitch; farther sounds are sparser and lower • Direction: binaural spatial audio places objects to your left or right • Shape cues: flat walls, slopes, and gaps create distinct sonic rhythms Four sensing modes • Echolocation: row-by-row pings outline space like sonar returns • Pitch sonar: a rising scan line encodes distance as pitch in real time • Continuous sonar: a fixed center line for a live depth profile while you walk • Haptic sonar: vibration timing encodes distance—no headphones required Semantic markers Optionally detect people, vehicles, dogs, chairs, tables, doors, and more, then announce them in stereo from their real-world direction. All processing stays on device; nothing is uploaded. Tips • Stereo headphones are recommended (Apple headphones with head tracking and spatial audio work best); haptic mode can be used without headphones • Full VoiceOver support, including gestures and the rotor • Requires an iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models) • This is an assistive tool—not a replacement for a cane, guide dog, or your own judgment when traveling Open the app and start hearing space. Camera preview is on by default so sighted helpers can see what’s being scanned. To keep the experience focused, the app intentionally avoids UI that isn’t essential to core sensing.
