Ask HN: Please review my 3D+VOIP web project (Assemblive.com) (opens in new tab)

Which accent ^^ ?

Yes, we use Unity3D, a web plugin to run hardware accelerated 3D in the browser. They don't support Linux yet, but now that they raised a huge amount of money from Sequoia they might work on it (if they want to support ChromeOS they'd better hury)

The whole idea of this is to allow large groups events. Think 20+ participants. Using 3D allows us to spatialize the event, while staying very dynamic. Groups can form, change, recreate just by moving. The sound is spatialized too, so it could scale to hundreds, thousands of persons. Just using regular voice would make an awful noise. 3D splits group very naturally, while staying dynamic and most of all, intuitive because it's very similar to regular networking events. It could obviously be done by creating voice groups on a "flat screen", but we strongly believe in the power of real world analogies, to make it immersive and help people understand how to behave in this.

On the other hand we are a French startup, so our pronunciation probably doesn't make much sense for native English speakers.

thx, that was my humble contribution ;-)
