I feel more like a moron and less like an idiot now, I love the idea here I'd love to be able to use it as a form to communicate with friends over seas.
No worries, Cortez! I think the most confusing thing about this project is conveying exactly what it isn't/is. It's not a product so much as a practice, at least for the time being, and I think our app-store molded expectations make this seem counterintuitive. Actually, I think the "thing" centered bias goes back quite a bit further than the App Store. But that's another sociological inquiry for another time. Anyway, I'm very glad to hear it may serve you well in making contact with distant friends. Would love to know how it goes, and will definitely keep you apprised of any thing-ward developments of the e-Vox!
I do love how much fidelity and texture, and all around being-there-ness it provides for a relative pittance in space/bandwidth. For this reason I see it as a part of the low-tech revolution. Pretty high-tech for luddites, but low tech by the standards of progress for progress sake. It's for people!
