Video conferencing is the main pain I have that this would help with.

Obviously, really high quality audio, HD video, with multiple participants.

Then I'd like a bit more than that - panorama video so I can see all the surroundings in detail of where the other person is. Not just point audio, but a mesh of audio so I can move around in the space. All streamed to Google Glasses or similar.

And if that isn't enough, Kinnect-like 3D, so my body is scanned with depth as well.

Done well, so that tech geeks actually start to have their conferences online rather than in the flesh... This'll reduce carbon emissions, and mean people can spend more time with their families.

Will that use enough bandwidth?



No, 50 Mbps will be sufficient for this with the right codecs and gear. Now if you want it all as raw data - that makes a difference.


50Mbps is barely sufficient for high quality current HD.
