Navigate the Underworld Without Losing Your Way.
Map lava tubes and geothermal vents in 3D as you explore — built from sound and motion in environments that destroy traditional gear.
You're inside a lava tube where the air is 50°C, sulfur is corroding metal, and the passage branches in three directions that all look identical. Laser scanners overheat, compass needles swing near magnetic rock, and there's no GPS fix through 40 meters of basalt. SonicQuilt uses ambient sound reflections and your movement to quilt together a 3D map of the tube system in real time — giving you orientation, passage geometry, and a breadcrumb trail back. You focus on the science while the map builds itself.
Mapping That Survives Extreme Conditions
No moving parts to corrode, no lasers to overheat — SonicQuilt relies on sound and motion sensors that handle heat, humidity, and caustic air.
Real-Time Orientation in Featureless Passages
See your position in the growing 3D quilt so you always know where you are, even when every tunnel looks the same.
Acoustic Signatures of Geological Features
Sound profiles help identify gas pockets, water channels, and void spaces that visual inspection alone would miss.
Safe Retreat Path Always Visible
Your movement trail is stitched into the quilt in real time, giving you a clear route back even as passages branch.
