Show HN: A VR-chat App for online gatherings
2 points by omars_ 725 days ago
Hey HN,

I've been working on a VR-chat app, something like a 3D version of Zoom, and I'd love to get your feedback.

I built the app using React and BabylonJS. It uses DailyCo for WebRTC, enabling real-time video and audio communication.

Features: Users can create virtual rooms to hang out with their friends. Custom spatial audio allows you to converse with people in the room, even with other conversations happening nearby. Minimalist design for quick loading and compatibility with slower systems.

Why I built it: The goal is to bring distributed remote communities closer together by simulating real-life social gatherings, especially for those who can't meet up in person.

Current state: It's a basic prototype right now, and I'm looking to gauge interest and gather feedback from the community.

Try it out: You can hop into a sample room here: https://digital-den.onrender.com/room?roomId=universal-hango... to get a feel for the app and the spatial audio in action. I'll be in the room to chat and answer any questions you might have.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

Thanks, Omar S.
