MakeBatKin

MakeBatKin is an interactive virtual experience of echolocation. It allows you to enter the body of a bat and connect with its vision to perceive the landscape with a different sensorium.

The world you enter can't be seen immediately. You need acoustic noises to be able to perceive the environment visually. This visual perception fades out again after a short time. So you have to constantly make noises and, so to speak, send out sound waves in order to see your surroundings.

While imitating the bat you can fly through this world and move much faster than a human. It is not easy to orientate yourself in such an environment. It's a completely unfamiliar experience. There are some objects in the world. Objects that can be recognized. Due to the unfamiliar way of seeing things, even well-known things are often not immediately apparent.

A virtual experiment developed by Marina Niederleitner and Kevin Astl.
