Summary

In an increasingly distributed world, there's a desire to simulate physical spaces for people to meet remotely, enabling applications such as virtual offices, community hangout spaces, and more. The goal of this spatialization series is to present a demo showcasing one approach to building an app with spatialization features using the Daily API. The demo will be a client-only app with a 2D world where users can traverse with arrow keys, hear and see other users as they come within proximity, and broadcast to all other world members or join smaller dedicated spaces for focused conversations. The completed demo app is available on GitHub, and the series will cover the main application structure, tech stack, and relevant parts of the Daily API, as well as implementation details and lessons learned along the way.
