A few weeks ago Microsoft presented a platform (mesh) where three-dimensional video streams can be transmitted using augmented reality glasses.

Instead of using webcams in a video conference, you meet as an avatar in a virtual room.

A lifelike 3-D image is inserted into a virtual setting via holoportation.

Medical students could use a VR headset to connect to a virtual lecture hall from their shared room and study the anatomy of the body on a holographic model; Engineers from all over the world could work on an engine in a virtual workshop, business partners could meet at a meeting table. There are no viruses in the data matrix, and you can still shake hands there in the old fashion.
