Wisp - Voice AI Companion With Spatial Audio in the Browser
Browser-based voice AI companion where the voice comes from a position you choose on a radar, rendered with spatial audio over headphones; runs on a free Gemini key you paste in yourself.
Why it matters
Spatial audio turns a voice chat into a 'friend on your shoulder' - headphones on, phone in pocket, no app install.
What you could build with it
An accessibility startup could adapt this spatial-audio voice pattern into a navigation companion for visually impaired users, placing spoken directions at real-world bearings so guidance feels like it comes from the environment.
Does it hold up?
Usable today with a free Gemini key you paste in yourself; evidence beyond the demo is thin, and privacy depends on trusting the page with your key.
