This type of 3D (head tracking) combined with 3DS type 3D (glasses free depth) would be amazing. You would get both depth and the ability to "see" a different perspective as you look around just like real life.

This post does a good job documenting how communication can break down over time in an organization. While a person can easily talk to (e-mail) a group or another person, it's not as natural for a group to talk to another group or person. I
