# Communicate in Spatial Context

| Epic | Delivery status | Status source | Owner | Approved for Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `3DARCH-EP-5` | `IN_BACKLOG` | `EXACT` | 3D Architecture Wizzard team | No |

## Goal

Enable floor-scoped text with speech bubbles and push-to-talk voice with proximity-reflective volume and speaking indicators.

## Benefit

People can coordinate through visible text and natural nearby conversation in the context where they are working.

## Problem or opportunity

Participants need fast written and spoken communication without leaving the shared 3D environment.

## Constraints

- Only materially implemented legacy behavior is included; planned-only capabilities remain outside the approved catalogue.

## Features

No child Features have been defined or approved. Feature discovery must preserve this Epic boundary and requires a separate human **Approved for Solution** decision before Architecture solution work begins.
