Your energy has a colour. Auria reveals it from a single selfie — processed entirely on your device and never uploaded — then turns it into an aura portrait, a live aura video, and a share-ready clip. WHAT'S INSIDE • Aura scan — take a selfie (or pick a photo) and watch your aura appear around you. • Live aura video — your aura follows you in the camera. Record up to 15 seconds. • 6 aura styles — Glow, Booth (the aura-photo-booth instant-film look), Kirlian, Holo, Halo and Prism. • Aura Battle — two photos, one winner, aura points for each. Friends, couples, you vs your dog. • Pet auras — Auria reads cats and dogs too. • Aura Journal — a calendar of every colour you've glowed, and your top colour of the month. • Share & save — animated aura videos and photos, ready for Stories and TikTok. INCLUDED FOR EVERYONE Scanning, the Glow and Booth styles, live video, Aura Battle, pet auras, the Journal and sharing.

Compare human vision with the visual worlds of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other animals—all in real time. SEE THE DIFFERENCE Use an adjustable split view to compare Human’s View and Animal’s View side by side. Drag the divider to reveal how color, contrast, detail, and low-light perception may differ. EXPLORE ANIMAL VISION Discover visual perspectives inspired by research into dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, goldfish, turtles, horses, bearded dragons, ball pythons, and more. CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE • Scientific Mode offers a restrained, research-inspired approximation. • Enhanced Mode makes the visual differences easier to recognize and share. • Daytime and Nighttime modes adapt the effect to different environments. CAPTURE AND SHARE Take photos, record videos, or import an existing image. Save and share your comparisons with clear Human’s View and Animal’s View labels and the Pawscopia watermark.
