Families and friends located 400 miles apart have been reunited virtually via live 3D holograms.
Virgin Media has opened a pair of dining pods for two days, one located in London and the other in Edinburgh, allowing people to eat with loved ones as though they are sat in the same room.
Life-sized 4K-quality holograms are projected on each end, using an array of cameras and lights arranged in a 360-degree cube.

The idea is to demonstrate how people could connect with others from afar in years to come, as broadband speeds improve and holograph-enabling gadgets eventually become more widely available.
