> Especially if your headset

What I'm suggesting is that I wouldn't be wearing a headset at all, but everyone else in the meeting wouldn't realize this. My VR self (I'm calling that my avatar) would be on auto-pilot, driven only by my voice and reacting to others voices and virtual positions.

Most of the time it would just need to face whoever is speaking and appear to be engaged, and throw in some random movements, so I don't have to physically do that myself.

I could continue to play guitar or take my dog outside while those with VR headsets on are stuck going through the expected motions.

Hmyeah but if you do that you might as well just join by call of course.

And they will notice anyway. A real avatar with full body tracking is quite emotive.
