I think the way to study it would be with on-site test subjects then start degrading the meeting, glass barrier, audio encoding, video screen, latency, etc. But the results would be frustratingly obvious: get better screens, speakers, and links than practicably exist today.
That makes sense. I've been thinking of getting a decent lavalier mic (my company has a $500 budget per person for stuff like this, I can't think of anything better to do with the money), but since we (the company) use hangouts I'm not sure audio input quality will matter.

I suppose I could try to do a comparison by (for example) sending some known high-quality audio into the input and seeing what kind of quality I get out, if there's no difference between audio quality from a high-quality source vs. my laptop mic then I shouldn't expect much.

My main concern with a USB camera is I expect tons of pointless latency, just due to the driver stack. People with professional cameras use them to film videos to watch later, so don't care about latency at all. I expect it to suck more than an Apple-optimized iPad+Facetime.

A lav mic sounds like a good investment, that's very much what I use airpods for. It would be fun to test them side-by-side and see if airpods take advantage of its two mics to do better noise reduction, and to see how the latency compares.
