I had a conversation with an Israeli guy about smart grids and the iron dome while watching old Bond movies. Highly recommend Big Screen. Eye contact, hand gestures and the occasional air drawing go a long way to connect people.

Do you build a 3D avatar using your face or something?

It's pretty dumb, think of building your Mii on the Wii, plus some basic heuristics if you turn your head towards someone past a threshold, your avatar makes eye contact. It works more than enough to trick your brain.
