You can see them flying towards you and from you, where it takes some constant * log(miles) seconds for them to cross the space. You have to flip back and forth to catch them if you want multiple convos. Otherwise you “hung up”.

@eshear Add location sensing, and add a further requirement that you be less than eight feet apart! That would be truly revolutionary

@eshear it'll really trip people out to realize that if you want to actually point your phone towards say Lisbon from SF, you have to point yourself: 1. not east but somewhat northeast, despite being same latitude 2. ~43° down, because portugal is a third of the way around the earth https://t.co/ctKV2oT6df
