Who it is for
One channel. A lot of rooms.
Who joined, where they are, when the room goes quiet. The signal a room gives off, on one channel you can hear.
- 01
Blind and low vision adults
Professionally active, screen reader fluent, already listening at three to five hundred words a minute. Built to their speed, not to a comfortable demo speed.
- 02
Anyone in a room too loud, or in a second language
A conference floor, a bar, a call in your third language. The signal everyone else reads for free is the first thing noise takes away.
- 03
Neurodivergent users
For anyone who would rather have the social signal stated than inferred, the same channel does the same job.
- 04
Deafblind users, through a braille display
The output layer is abstracted from the speaker. The same cues can arrive on a braille line instead of in your ear.
Rooms
The same three tiers, wherever you are.
Someone on your left.
Spoken into the pause before your turn, and dropped if the pause closes first.
Two rising notes.
Someone joined the group. No words spent, and nothing said over the person talking to you.
One press.
A full answer about the table when you ask for it, and never before.
Scale
One person first. Then the number.
The primary group alone numbers in the hundreds of millions, and it grows as the world ages.
