Simulcrum

Simulcrum can best be described as a mix of videophone and hologram technology. A hologram of its users is created, which can be summoned wherever mobile beamer-devices of the system are located. The hologram then allows the user to experience and talk with the hologram's environment, but it does not allow the user physical contact. Since the humans who made use of Simulcrum wore special outfits, it may be possible the system is designed only for use by Cybertronians.

Fiction

Dreamwave Armada comics

Carlos and Alexis wished to go with Optimus Prime to save Rad on the Moon, but the Autobot leader deemed that too dangerous. Instead, he had them hooked up to Simulcrum so they could keep track of the events without any risks.

When Rad was finally freed and brought onboard Optimus's ship, he was elated to see his friends. When he went right through them, he was surprised only for as long as it took him to realize this kind of thing shouldn't surprise him anymore. Armada #11
