What we really need is a decent AR or VR headset for remote conferencing.

Even better, 3D screens like Looking Glass that require no contact with the display.

If you are wearing a headset, what would your conversation partners see?

An avatar. You really don’t need much else to get a superior experience to a video call. Being able to turn towards the person who is speaking, see the posture they are holding and have 3D audio is far better than 2d faces in little boxes. It’s also lighter on bandwidth so you don’t wind up talking to laggy robots.
