Developer’s Description

Watch operation of automated sonar detector dropped far away in sea.

Enjoy the mysterious atmosphere of cold still waters; immerse yourself in the eerie silence of oceans deep with one of the best sonar simulation screensavers around. This fascinating and detailed sonar simulation software gives your PC the appearance of a true sonar display. Unlike real marine sonars, this model offers far more sci-fi details, animations and effects to blend an oceanic spirit with the hi-tech world of underwater fiction just like scenes from the sci-fi movies! Many computers now also facilitate multiple screen display connection. Sonar Screensaver can utilize this capability to full effect, as it can display either the same view on all displays, or different sonar simulations on each screen.

Pros
Clear and easy to view with the wide screen aspect
Cons
Would be nice if they would do a few updates and add a few new features to mix things up
Summary
Great distraction on one of those slow days and if you get tired of looking at it make a few changes to keep things new

Pros
Pure reality in a virtual world
Cons
I've not found problems. All is OK
Summary
Plaudit for the makers of "Sonar Screensaver". They are absolutely very professional developers. I like to hear the sonar and to look at the monitoring. The feeling is authentic and at the same time visionary...
The Best Sonar Screensaver out there!

Pros
This is the bet sonar screensaver I have ever seen. For years I keep downloading them and they are always ok. This one is by far the best.
Cons
Wish it could find devices on my network and show them on the radar
Summary
One of the best , most fun screensavers yet. Now all we need is one that looks like a high end server work, something like out of wargames when the big screens were flashing.
I love it - looks very real

Cons
Al little repetitive after a while but then again, sonar is probabaly pretty repetitive.
Summary
The Sonar Screensaver by Xander Zerge is one of those rare screensavers that will make friends and co-workers ask "what IS your computer DOING?" I'm surprised we haven't seen this in the background on a computer in a TV show or movie, it's that detailed and believeable. Every time the screensaver loads, the terrain is different, and the option of cycling colors subtly changes the colors logically and gradually, so it never looks like anything but a real, working, sonar display. (I say this having never actually SEEN a real working sonar display but I am certain that any movie sonar display would look just like this screen saver.) I am particularly enamored of the opening animations of the sonar monitor warming up and coming online. When you exit the screensaver by moving the mouse or touching the keyboard, the sonar quickly "powers down" with a logical-looking power down animation that is quick enough to not be in the way but detailed enough to imply that you've actively "turned off the sonar" in order to use the computer. Sound excels in this product. You can mute the sound if you like, opt for times of day that sound is on and change the frequency of extraneous "hits" on the radar, opting instead for a low-key "ping...... ping...... ping" of sonar. The "power up" sound effect as the saver simulates the sonar coming online is wonderfully subtle and very believeable. Nowhere are the graphics too cheesy, corny, or cartoon like. Nowhere is a sound anything but appropriate and subtle. In a nutshell, this thing looks and feels very, very real.
Marvellously original

Pros
The sonar screensaver makes the serene make-believe world come alive as one imagines being in the depths of the ocean in a submarine cruising at leisure watching the world go by.
Cons
Hardly anything negative comes to mind.
Summary
When one is away from the computer for any reason, the screensaver makes the computer screen become an almost realistic sonar screen. If the room is cool and dark with minimal lighting, one can look at the screen for considerable lengths of time listening to the peaceful sounds of the ocean that comes alive with the sounds of occasional biologics as the sonar tracks boats and ships of various sizes casually pass by. The ambience created rates very high as a stress buster.

Pros
I liked the interesting look of the screen and the evocative sound of the sonar and undersea sounds.
Cons
After a while it was a little repetitive, but, after all, it is a screensaver, not a movie.
Summary
Realistic Graphics and stunning colour transitions
