Show HN: VoicePlace – Voice Chat based on virtual proximity (tenxeng.com)

I've been working on a proof of concept project for proximity voice chatting! (and spent too much time on the UI haha).

Whether for catching up, meetings, or working, VoicePlace has all the tools you need to communicate effectively. Your volume is scaled proportionally to how close you are to people in your virtual world!

Feedback is very appreciated! I’m still exploring different ways to adjust volumes between people to make it even more natural. Let me know if anything is confusing or when you find bugs :)


I love this concept. Is there a maximum distance that you stop broadcasting to preserve privacy?


Yes! After 25 (virtual) feet, the audio and video are automatically disconnected. It saves bandwidth as well.
