tiny super cheap, lens-free camera

Cover a wall with those. Full 3D capture.

Intersperse those on that wall with tiny pods of directional LEDs. Think "lenticular 3D" but with hemispheres instead of half-cylinders.

Remotely connect two of these walls. Result is a virtual 2-way window, with full natural 3D viewing without headgear. Could revolutionize teleconferencing: participant(s) are "just" on the other side of a glass wall...with the "other side" any distance away. Bandwidth required may be staggering relative to current video, yet is currently manageable.
