Voice Bubble

Location-based voice vertical social app

Overview

Research

Competitive Research & Problems

Instant chat is fast-paced and purposeful

The people you talk to is familiar to you. No fresh people and fresh ideas.

The topic is limited to the purpose and a small range

The topic is irrelevant to the location

Not convenient for a chat on the road

Sharing feelings with friends who haven't been here won't get empathy 

The big social platforms are influencer-oriented. New users won't get traffic and heat

There is eye-catching and hot content that is unhealthy

Brainstorming&Ideas

Weak purpose, decentralized social platform

Fresh people and content. Less repeating content and advertising

Traffic distributed by location. Everyone can receive attention

Share feelings with people who passed here and had similar feeling

Summary & Analysis

We  summarized users' requirements and selected main  problems to deal with and decided detailed interaction method

Design

Features

Location-based socialization is more likely to bring a sense of intimacy and trust, spanning the dimension of time, and smashing the people who have been here before.

The voice has a rich emotional attribute, and its vividness makes it more realistic than virtual social and virtual entertainment. Voice-mediated social interaction is one of the best ways to break the strangeness

The new social way of geography + voice is aimed at the loneliness of the contemporary people. Through location and voice, they can feel more companionship and warmth than the information flow, providing strangers with a comfortable social network to listen and express themselves
