BATVISION – VR Experience
Experience the world as a bat
BATVISION immerses you in the perception of a bat and makes their echolocation visible. The VR headset visualizes the bat’s sonar in a way that is understandable to us. Surrounded by complete darkness, the virtual world becomes visible only through your own scream. BATVISION uses immersive technologies to make knowledge not only comprehensible, but also physically experienced. This VR experience sensitizes us to disappearing habitats and an endangered species.

VR makes it personal
Knowledge transfer and awareness-raising
BATVISION is our interpretation of perception. The experience is a way to directly convey knowledge and raise awareness for endangered species. In addition, virtual reality has the potential to touch people personally. When experiencing an event on your own body in a playful way, you become aware of your subjective perception again. Our goal is to influence people’s actions sustainably through an experience.
We combine the areas of design, technology, biology, sustainability, social change, fun, and entertainment in a transdisciplinary project. Thanks to our partners, we have been able to use BATVISION in countless contexts and have received positive feedback and insights. These motivate us to think about further applications of the perspective shift between humans and nature.
We at Somebodyelse are continuously developing BATVISION and are excited to share our progress and other projects on www.somebodyelse.ch.
