One configuration that seems to be emerging for medical schools (at least) is a two-part model: asynchronous and synchronous. The former involves a recorded session in which a computer platform - without a live interviewer present - provides questions to applicants who then have a set time to record their answers. The synchronous session is a live, remote interview.
The advantage of virtual interviews - beyond obvious health benefits and cost containment - is a standardization of the process, but mastering the new, remote processes may be difficult and anxiety-producing.
