Back in the days before mobile phones, snap chat, facetime and skype, AT&T had a way for you to see the people you were talking to on the telephone. It was 1992 and the phone was the model 2500. It allowed users to make a video call to anyone else that had one of these $1599 models. No wonder they gave you a discount if you purchased 2! Some of the features highlighted in the advertising blurb include a "self view button" to see how you look to your calling party and the ability to disable sound or video for privacy. Some of the earlier models could only manage video at 4 frames per second but this baby cranked it up to 10 frames per second.
There was a time when people thought that all calls in the future would include video. It is interesting that the humble voice call is still preferred by most that have the ability to make video calls.
