Again, though, [[Tropes Are Not Bad|this is not necessarily a bad thing]]. The whole "three-dimensional face on a flat screen" thing is probably an attempt to avoid a trip into the [[Uncanny Valley]]. After all, when you walked that semi-circle around your TV (admit it, you did), didn't it look creepy to have that face always looking directly at you? The reason the face doesn't change with the angle is because, of course, it's a flat image; but, although we know intellectually that this is correct, emotionally it just rubs the wrong way. The Hollywood Web Cam solves this by giving us a 3D face on the screen; it's an [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|Acceptable Break From Reality]]. And this doesn't even take into account any [[Applied Phlebotinum]] which can inject a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] into the procedings. |
