Virtual visitation, Internet visitation or computer visitation is using technology to supplement interactions between parents and children who are separated by distance. Most of the focus in terms of technology has been on webcams, web chats, video conferencing. These tools allow parents and children to have virtual face time with each other. Although this virtual time spent together can never replace actual interactions, it can keep a regular connection that would otherwise be impossible.
Wikipedia does a great job of covering the many options that exist for those interested in video conferencing and video chatting:

The OurFamilyWizard website can be used in conjunction with other online resources to make virtual visitation a breeze. Using the OurFamilyWizard website, you can schedule visits, stay on top of the child’s other activities, stay on top of what has changed in their medical and school information and keep track of child related expenses.
One of the most important things to children in a long distance parenting relationship is consistent and regular contact. The OurFamilyWizard website can make this much easier for both parents and children. By having the entire family working from a shared set of information and calendars online, the long distance gap can become much shorter. The website provides the parent who is living a long distance away the ability to have regular input and feedback on activities and other information related to the child.
The OurFamilyWizard website is also a great documentation tool. The site automatically records who made the entry, when the entry was made and from what i.p. address the entry was made from. This will make it very easy to know that everyone is on the same page about when virtual visits will occur and provide you and your child with a way to keep a journal about your interactions.
