A few years ago, we launched Project Starline, an innovative research initiative that aimed to revolutionize video communication. This project enabled individuals to engage in remote conversations that felt almost identical to in-person interactions, all without requiring specialized glasses or headsets.

Today, we are excited to announce that Project Starline is evolving into a new and advanced 3D video communication platform, known as Google Beam.

AI is fostering meaningful connections

The Google Beam platform will leverage AI capabilities to enable a new generation of devices that facilitate meaningful connections between people, regardless of their physical location.

Our cutting-edge AI volumetric video model is the key to making these calls appear fully 3D from any perspective. By transforming standard 2D video streams into immersive 3D experiences, it allows users to connect with each other in a more natural and intuitive manner.

Google Beam is built on the robust infrastructure of Google Cloud, combined with our expertise in AI. This enables Google Beam to deliver enterprise-level reliability, seamless integration with existing workflows, and lifelike 3D video communication.

The combination of our AI video model and light field display technology creates a profound sense of dimensionality and depth, allowing users to make eye contact, pick up on subtle cues, and establish understanding and trust as if they were interacting in person.
