* 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.
