I've often thought about this myself, and there's really no perfect solution. The most practical option is just give people the hardware they need, then facilitate their comfort and mobility accordingly. Desktops and laptops being used simultaneously at the same desk is very common. I'd also suggest desks with wheels. As far as remote solutions for your situation, I don't think there are any acceptable ones. Low-latency video streaming wouldn't even cut it. Personally I'd limit myself to solutions that actually run the display signal itself. There might be some clever things you can do with the latest versions of Thunderbolt/USB/HDMI/DisplayPort; I'm not fully up to speed. If you do end up theorycrafting that approach, one additional point of consideration might be virtualization with direct hardware passthrough. You could probably do some cool things like assign one GPU per hotdesking location, and pool any unused GPUs as computing resources. Storage could be a similar story, with neat separation. That said, running your own on-premises AWS can become very complicated and very expensive. I wouldn't go that route unless you're really, really set on the hotdesking thing.
