Cisco, in collaboration with Musion, recently had a live "telepresence" presentation. Specifically, it combines voice and data and presents it with a full body holographic image. While the script to this presentation is beyond terrible, this is some technology to follow.
So far, they have 28 customers, with 150 "rooms" at Cisco alone. Rather than paying $6-10k to globe-trot an executive, firms are investing in these rooms. Price of these rooms, however, were not stated.
