As much as I enjoy neal's little games, I'm not going to be trying this one, unfortunately.

#15The name took me back to a video chat programme I remember using with my friends in the very early 2000s called Eyeball Chat.

You know, someone can also capture your face while you just walking on the street?
Given, the different people require different levels of privacy.

#17I remember that someone posted a very similar project here some time ago.

Yes, I had the same question popping up.
On a meta-level, this is the essence of social engineering: creating a seemingly harmless and fun distraction to get what you may really want.
"Consent to give me pictures of your face and movements" as a pop-up would probably spoil the fun a bit.

Yes, inverse profiling works this way. A group with known individuals communicates constantly with someone who ain't using FB or Insta. You still know this person quite well, easily identifiable, maybe lacking some information but more than needed.
This is also why privacy has been a game over for decades. Ten years ago or so, friends boasted that they don't use Gmail due to privacy concerns but happily email folks with Gmail accounts.
One group picture is sufficient, you can work from there.

#20Another hit from Neal. I wonder (and envy, in a good way) where does he gets the time to work and all this wonderful little games.
Doesn't he do this full time?
