- Project Starline becomes Google Beam and will be for companies only
- The AI transforms the flow of six cameras into a 3D video, while AI translates to the careful languages
- We will see the first HP material to support Google Beam at the infocomm conference next month
After about four years of very few apparent developments, Google confirmed that its Starline project continued during its annual conference for developers, E / S, in 2025.
This time, under the new and public -oriented name of Beam, the concept revolves around video calls for life that use advanced equipment, computer vision and automatic learning to create 3D videoconferencing experiences without glasses or necessary helmets.
Rather than collecting data from dozens of cameras (it still uses six), the beam will use an AI volumetric video model to convert 2D video to a realistic 3D flow.

In addition to six cameras, Google has confirmed that the beam will use a light field display for a real depth and a feeling of dimension. The AI merges the six video flows, depending on the head movements and making the video call to 60 images per second. The beam can also support natural visual contact and recognition of subtle expression to make the video call hyper realistic.
Being a flagship videoconferencing tool, it should not be surprising that this 3D holographic platform obtains the same translation of speech in real time that meets, with the system capable of maintaining the expressions of voice, tone and facial for natural multilingual communication.
However, there is a big grip, and it is not the price (which is not confirmed). Consumers general will not discover technology unless they work for one of Google’s business customers. It will be launched to select customers later this year, the first HP material devices presented at Infocomm next month.
For the context, the Ghost Logitech project, a similar system based on pods which aims to brake zoom fatigue with a slightly less advanced 2D system, costs $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 per stand.
Google confirmed that Deloitte, Salesforce, Citadel, NEC, Hackensack Meridian Health, Duolingo and Recruit have all already recorded their interest in Beam. Andrew Nartker, managing director of Google Beam, added: “We are working with industry leading partners like Zoom and HP to bring Google Beam to businesses.”
