AVP doesn't need the webcam on.

"Inside" it, your avatar could be anywhere wearing whatever, no bed pillows, PJs, or family creeping not-so-stealthily behind you.

Yes - it’s even more intrusive - you have to strap a computer to your face instead of merely sitting in front of it. That was the entire point I’m making.

The barrier to using a webcam is already lower, and people routinely refuse to do it.
