Your criticism is fair, except the camera access. It's a video chat tool, of course it's going to ask you to use your camera. What do you expect?

You only know this because you saw the HN headline.

There is nothing to expect because the landing page has no useful information, as the parent comment stated.
If you check out the text of the link at the top of the page, it has some helpful context. Specifically, that the linked website is for "video calls, in 3D"
But in any other context you'll likely not know what it is. Even with the title, I have very very little idea of what it means. Video calls with one other person? Multiple? Are they recorded? Define "3D". There needs to be at least some high level explanation on the page (or a link to one).
Your landing page says no such thing.
You know it's a video chat tool only because of the HN thread. How would you know if you randomly stumbled on to the landing page?
