description: "An interactive globe where every dot is a real person's short recorded voice story, placed where they are — spin the world, tap a dot, and hear a stranger."
---

VoiceDot is an interactive 3D globe covered in dots, and each one is a short recorded voice story placed at the location of the person who left it. Spinning the globe and tapping a dot plays a stranger's real voice rather than any text, and anyone can add their own pin. It turns a map into a listening exercise — a way to encounter people you'd otherwise never cross paths with, one location at a time.
