A few options...

if YOU are running the perk

when another survivor is within 8-10-12 meters of you, they see any auras you see.

or

when you are within 8-10-12 meters of another survivor, you see any auras they see.

or

when you are within 8-10-12 meters of another survivor, you both see any auras the other sees (combines the first two)

works with bond, empathy, kindred, maps, etc.

Thoughts? OP?

    Doesn’t look bad if you ask me.

    I think with the 3rd option it could be a very useful perk for solo survivors.

    I think it's a good idea, but the only problem is that your teammate needs to have some kind of aura reading perk, otherwise it's useless.

    I think the first idea is the best tho.

    Agreed! I was thinking like a solo survivor as that’s how usually play (now) with a new love for kindred.

    50/50 survivor/killer

    The range is too short. It's a bad idea in general as a survivor to hang out too close to other survivors. From that perspective alone it is a design fail. The other reason it is a design fail is that it does absolutely nothing on it's own. If someone were to run this perk there is no way to know if other survivors are running aura reading perks. The vast majority of the time you would get no value from it. No one would run this perk.

    Also make this effect persists for 15 seconds like some other perks, then this perk would be great!

    What range would you suggest?

    maybe for a slight buff to the original idea you could give it it’s own (limited) aura read by itself.

    I use a lot of aura perks so if I could share that info I would... definitely not a stand alone perk.
