Watch this video of Cisco’s telepresence system that means a speaker in Bangalore can have real-time interaction with a speaker in California, with it looking to the audience like they’re in the same physical space.
Ok, for magic nerds amongst you so this is just Pepper’s Ghost from the 17th Century (where they would project images onto glass to make ghosts), but man, it looks totally cool!

I think this could work, if the speaker gets to see/hear the audience. It’s not going to have quite the same energy as a flesh-and-blood presentation, but it might make it possible to have some world-class speakers speak at your conference without having to fly them all the way there…

I mean, the real technology is the telepresence stuff, but the two together… genius.
