Always-on video phones

The next step from always-on internet is always-on video conferencing. For instance, a family dispersed across the globe could set up video conferencing always-on in alcoves that look like windows. Then it would look like you're living in one house with a few connecting portals. The oddest thing about it would be time zone differences making it look like it's night in the next room when here is bright daylight.
