- Project Starline was launched in 2021 and is now Google Beam
- It takes place this year, adding 3D to video calls
- There is also a real -time translation component for technology
You may have already seen Google’s Starline Tech project, which reinvents full 3D video calls. He was teased for the first time over four years ago, and at Google I / O 2025, we learned that he takes place in full name: Google Beam.
Since its creation, Google Beam’s idea has been to give the impression of being in the same room as someone when you are on a video call with them. Rather than using helmets or glasses, it relies on cameras, microphones and AI technology.

“The combination of our AI video model and our light field display creates a deep sense of dimensionality and depth,” explains Google. “This is what allows you to create visual contact, read subtle clues and strengthen understanding and confidence as if you were face to face.”
Beam participants must sit in a tailor -made cabin, with a large curved screen capable of generating a partially three -dimensional rendering of the person they talk to. The first commercial customers will obtain HP equipment later this year.
Real -time translation
There is another element of Google Beam that has been announced today, and it is a real -time translation. As you can expect, this is motivated by AI technology and facilitates inversion with someone else in a different language.
According to the demo that Google has shown, the translation is only a second or two behind the speech, and it works in the same way that a translation could be added later in addition to someone speaking in a video recording.
This is another impressive part of the Google Beam experience and offers another advantage to organizations with teams and customers around the world. According to Google, it can preserve the voice, the tone and the expression, while modifying the language in which the sound is spoken.
This part of the experience will not only be available in Google Beam: it now takes place inside Google is now meeting for consumers, although you will need Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra Plan to access it.
