I think this is a great idea.

It would be nice to have maybe an alternate avatar representation, like 
Tinkerbell(R), where your presence can be known but your physical volume 
is limited.  That way, as a presenter, you would know if you're speaking 
to ten people or ten thousand (the mind boggles), but in an interactive 
presentation ("Can I have a victim from the audience?") your presence 
avatar would become a traditional avatar for interactive purposes.
