That part, I don't think so, or only in part. Reading is obviously necessary for business meetings, but in my experience reading and observing others (their current focus of attention, their expressions, body language, etc) is also important.
In my meetings, "reading" is usually performed on a document in the laptop in front of me (and finally I have a corporate laptop that doesn't "hide" other participants behind its over-tall screen). Once in a long while it's something projected on a screen (which I dislike).
When it comes to discussion I strongly prefer to see my counterparts' faces because there's a LOT of feedback there even when they're silent. In my last face-to-face meeting, one participant was extremely concerned about a particular issue before us; voice communications would have conveyed some of his concern, but body language conveyed even more.
I know I’ve only used allusions in place of actual descriptions, but I can provide descriptions too.
Modern motion capture techniques require only a few set points to devine the facial contortion being displayed. They don’t need to have special markers placed in order to make the reading.
So, if you’re wearing a mask-that-is-watching-your-face, it can output information to an avatar mask that displays the information. Your avatar, which is a three-dimensional mask that looks like you, will also wear your expressions in real time.
The motions of your eyes will be repeated in the optical devices of the avatar. While you will be seeing what the avatar looks at, those observing the avatar will be seeing your reactions to the things you see.
The rest of the avatar will function in a similar fashion. Your subtle twitch of shoulder, or gentle opening of the hand, while not conclusively meaningful, will be faithfully reproduced to be interpreted by your hosts and avatar witnesses.
This sounds very high-tech, but in reality, teleoperation is a relatively simple task to perform. We’ve been doing it for years with game devices. When you don your avatar control suit, you automatically will be controlling the strain gauges and measurement devices built into the suit.
By simply moving your arm, you cause the avatar to mimic your motion. Since you are looking out of the eyes of the avatar, you will see the avatar’s arm move as you move your own. In a matter of moments it would become second nature.
Interacting with others would surely be interesting. One of the first things you might do is to try to determine which of the individuals you are seeing through your avatar’s eyes is really there, and which are also avatars.
And if that isn’t really obvious, then you’ll know that your meeting should be able to work very well.
