* ''Fanfic/HZDTerraformingBase001TextCommunicationsNetwork'': Sylens tries to start a holo-chat, only for Aloy to immediately shut it down. He's especially annoyed to discover everyone else agrees with her.
-->'''Sylens:''' You're all ridiculous fools! I suppose you'd prefer I explain my grand plans in a text?\\
'''Alva:''' I really feel like this could have been an e-mail.

** ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'': Combining this technology with AugmentedReality seems to have been commonplace in the Old World. Aloy finds several instances of people interacting live with a hologram of whoever they're talking to. It seems polite not to mention any oddities that arise from this; for example, at one point Elisabet called Ted Faro, and he didn't mention that she was seemingly sitting inside his conference table until he realizes that she's flying on a plane to a meeting that will cause ''very'' serious problems for him (she shuts him up by explaining exactly how much he screwed up and she has to clean up his mess).
** ''VideoGame/HorizonForbiddenWest'': Sylens likes to appear before Aloy as a hologram, to her annoyance. Eventually, she has to use this herself to coordinate with the rest of her team for the GEMINI mission.
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'': At one point, the team receives a side mission this way, when one of their old friends calls them through their Irises (basically cybernetic smartphones they're born with). This doesn't come up at any other time, leaving the odd impression that the team is flying halfway across the world on a regular basis to speak face to face with people they could have just called.

* In ''Franchise/DeadSpace'', Isaac has an ultra hi-tech video phone with a projected [[HolographicInterface holographic screen]] as part of the RIG suit's [[CommLinks Comm Link]]. While the transmission is monochrome blue in ''VideoGame/DeadSpace1'', the more advanced systems is ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'' are in full-color. Fun fact: the videophone's camera location is ''not'' {{Hand Wave}}d like one would expect with a holographic Video Phone. In all communications, it's either on the wrist of the characters, or, more frequently, embedded into one of the nearby walls. Which means that [[EverythingIsOnline the RIG is constantly on-line]] with the station/ship that Isaac is on.

* Literature/TheJournalEntries has a form commonly used for communicating between organics and androids of organic appearance (and Ken has a standing directive that the AIs managing his end are to put a noticeable image degradation in so that the image isn't uncomfortably real for him). Fixed AIs (for ships, buildings, regions, etc.) usually either just talk as a voice out of the air (most commonly the sky or ceiling, as most organics tend to look upward when speaking to AIs) or use a holographic projection (of the sort of body they would like if they were an organic) as a point of reference.

* All of the Pelemots of Pelemar in ''Series/ThroughTheDragonsEye'' have one. Gorwen's detaches from his scales, while Boris's is in his cap. This enables the search party in Widge to keep in contact with the Veetacore House to see how things are getting on. Unfortunately, due to the Veetacore exploding and the increased distance between the characters, the Video Phones are prone to static and interference, before they stop working entirely.
