From the pages of Star Trek: Tholos, planned to debut next year, is a real-time, high-definition public portal between cities:
A window between cities that allows people hundreds or even thousands of miles apart to meet and talk could make its debut in Britain next year.
…
The London Tholos would be linked to an identical one in Vienna. Through them, people in both cities will be able to see and hear each other in real time.The cylindrical structure contains technology that simultaneously transmits and receives high definition live moving images.
People standing in front of London’s Tholos would see a wrap-around picture of the scene in Vienna. At the same time, a similar London image is displayed in the Austrian capital.
That is an interesting blurring between art, technology and science fiction.
