Ah, I just noticed you didn't mention Max and I must've thought that's what you were posting in that section of the forum, since that's how you could get the Live users.
I'm assuming you can use the Earth Api with javascript so you'd use that in Max to get the location of the Live user. Basically have an instruction in the script that pulls the location info from the users OS settings seems the basic way to do it, maybe someone with more experince has a better idea. OR, you could just have the user say where they are....but then who knows if they're telling the truh or not:p?
I might do a little research.
Actually you could probably do it with a remote script as well, but then the user would have to take up a controller spot to give their info.
Well, I was just thinking of ways that it could be done automatically by getting the location info from the computer, but maybe the manual route from the user would be less of a hassle/intrusive.
Which reminds me that Funken had a widget in his web page to get visitor location,
So hmmm, maybe the Grindr idea...
Thing is, with the max patch, maybe one could set up an a/v/text chat in Live for anyone using the patch, which siunds kind of cool; like a google hangout type of thing. And you could use a good compression algo for the audio to give a quick direct stream....
