I have highlighted a number of video conferencing setups, and this one hits on the usual things like using a DSLR camera, however this is the first time I've seen a beam splitter used this way.
The alternative? A beam splitter.
These are used for teleprompters. It’s basically a piece of fancy glass, at an angle, on top of a monitor or screen. Behind the glass is the camera.
If your someone like Seth Godin that likely does a lot of group presentations remotely this makes sense, but it turns the whole setup into a highly specialized thing that is only useful for video conference. For some, that may be worth it.
