Try a big screen at hi resolution and stereo. It changes the experience.

And by big, I mean 40+ inches and resolution of 1080p or greater.

If you’ve ever tried it, you’ll see how incredible videoconferencing can actually be. It’s as different of an experience as Wolfenstein 3D was from the previous 2D map version. Totally different.



While I haven't tried it with current video conferencing solutions, I did a lot of meetings with that setup conference room to conference room years ago, and I don't recall it being significantly better.


That’s because it’s in a conference room. Having that setup in your office next to a desk is like talking to the person in the cube next to you. Really weird the first time because the person is not really there, but you behave like they are. It’s a virtual window looking into the office miles away.

FYI, helps to have it to the side of you instead of in front of you for best results, so that it’s like sitting beside someone.
