"EchoVision" is a mixed reality art experience that simulates bat echolocation, immersing participants in the perceptual umwelt of bats. Using a custom-designed, handheld, bat-shaped mask based on the open-source HoloKit mixed reality headset, participants visualize e cholocation through dynamic feedback responsive to their voices and the su rrounding 3D environment. Our site-specific pop-up exhibition in a natural bat habitat demonstrated mixed reality's potential to foster empathy for non-human species. This eco-art work explores a step towards eco-phenomeno logical mixed reality, opening new avenues for ecological education and th e exploration of more-than-human perspectives through experiential embodim ent.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access, Full Access, Full Access S upporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Kian Peng Ong (Nanyang Technological University (NTU)) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=artp_305&sess=sess278 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
