The OneVoice app aims to connect people of different nationalities at the Olympics through in-stadium chatrooms translated into local languages. Users can sign in with Facebook, see their location, and chat with others while suggesting meet-ups via a map of points of interest. Future plans include one-on-one chats, gamification through collecting international friends, and adding friends directly within the app.
