Aura photography without the line, the polaroid, or the party. Open your camera. We refract the light coming off you and return your aura — in under ten seconds.
The booths, the chemicals, the influencer-friendly polaroids — beautiful, but slow, in-person, and gated by geography. We rebuilt the whole stack for the camera in front of you.
Click in from any browser. Allow your camera. No download, no booth, no chemicals.
Our model reads the color, contrast, and frequency of the light bouncing off you — the same data a prism would split.
You get your aura portrait, your dominant color, and your reading — in under ten seconds. Save it. Send it. Reshoot it.
A quick read on the seven dominant bands of the visible spectrum. Your aura is usually a blend — but one band leads.
Every aura people choose to share lands here. Anonymous by default — first name and dominant band only.
The product lives in your browser. The brand lives in rooms. We pop up at parties, fashion weeks, and culture nights — refracting on full-frame cameras with proper lighting.
Brand launches, fashion weeks, dinners, openings. We bring the camera, the lighting, the operator. Your guests leave with their aura portrait shared straight to their camera roll.
We're opening twelve operator slots across global cities. You source the room and run the night; we provide the equipment, the brand, and the playbook. 85% revenue share. First cohort applications now open.
"first aura read that felt less like a horoscope and more like actually looking in a mirror."
"the booth lines at parties are over. just open the laptop."
"sent it to four friends. all four are now refracting at 1am."
We're measuring the light coming off you — the color of your skin, your background, your lighting. That gets split into the band that dominates the reading. It's optics, not biofield. We don't pretend otherwise. The result is a beautiful, brand-true portrait of the light you walked into the lens with.
No. Everything runs in your browser — your camera feed never leaves your device. We don't upload the frame, we don't keep the result. If you want to save your aura, you download the PNG yourself.
Yes. Forever. Free to refract, free to download, free to share. We make money from the events arm and (eventually) from a paid tier that lets you save your aura history.
Because it should. The point is that light *changes*. The aura you refract in a warm kitchen at golden hour is meaningfully different from the one you refract under your office's overheads at 4pm. Both are real reads. Try both.
Yes — front-facing camera in any modern mobile browser. We optimized for laptops because the larger sensor and wider field gives a cleaner refraction, but a phone works fine.
Yes — email events@refractventures.co or use the booking link on the events section above. We typically need 2–4 weeks of lead time for full setup.
Aura+ launches later this year. Every refraction archived. Watermark-free downloads. Time-lapse spectrum view. Quarterly archival print on us.
