Mission Control

Private — Agile Lens' internal SharePlay diagnostics tool

A live radar for SharePlay sessions — watch every player, in every app, without joining the call.

Debugging a multiplayer spatial app usually means joining the FaceTime call yourself and hoping you can see what's wrong. Mission Control skips that: a macOS dashboard that finds every Agile Lens multiplayer app on the network over Bonjour and renders a live tactical radar — positions, teams, scores, blasts, shields — in real time, no headset or call required.

A CRT radar for real players

Green-on-black, scanlines, a vignette — the aesthetic is a joke, the data isn't: live positions, field-of-view cones, team colors, and blast lines for every connected player, plus a position-density heatmap that reveals movement patterns after the fact.

Finds every app automatically

Bonjour discovery means a game device just has to come online — no manual IP entry, no pairing step. LaserTag, WhoAmI, RoomScanPro, a separate theatre-rehearsal tool, and a UE5 marker-based co-location tool all show up the same way.

A texture atlas that sharpens as you watch

The 3D mesh viewer for live room scans does something genuinely uncommon: every incoming camera keyframe gets its depth rendered from the camera's own point of view first — which is what actually solves occlusion, so color doesn't bleed through walls — then splatted into a per-chunk UV atlas with a running weighted average per texel. The room gets more textured the longer anyone scans it, and the ceiling on detail is the atlas, not the mesh.

At a glance

  • Live tactical radar over Bonjour — no FaceTime call needed to watch a session
  • CRT-styled 2D display: positions, FOV cones, team colors, blast lines, live heatmap
  • 3D mesh viewer for room scans streamed live from RoomScanPro
  • Projective-texture atlas sharpens over time — solves occlusion, not capped by mesh density
  • Supports every Agile Lens multiplayer app: LaserTag, WhoAmI, RoomScanPro, and a separate theatre-rehearsal tool

This one's internal.
