Google’s 3D video conferencing platform, Project Starline, coming in 2025 with help from HP

In 2021, Google began work on Project Starline – a teleconferencing platform for businesses that uses 3D imaging, cameras and a specially designed screen to permit people to confer with someone as in the event that they were in the identical room – kind of.

Now, after years of testing and personal technical announcements, Google is making Starline available to customers in partnership with HP.

IN blog post In a pre-Google I/O announcement, Google said it would work with HP to start commercializing Starline sometime in 2025. Google can be working to integrate Starline with popular video conferencing services similar to Zoom and Google Meet, the corporate says.

“This is a significant step towards a world where connection and collaboration are possible no matter where you are,” Andrew Narkter, CEO of Project Starline, said in an announcement. “We will provide more details later this year.”

As my colleague Brian Heater wrote about his hands-on experience last 12 months, Starline continues to be largely a virtual experience, but it will possibly probably trick your brain into believing otherwise. The query is: With many workplaces transitioning to all-office solutions post-pandemic, will there be much demand for Starline, which initially seemed aimed primarily at hybrid offices that ceaselessly interact with distant employees?

According to A survey by Resume Builder shows that 90% of corporations with office space will return to offices by 2024. Despite the proven fact that research has not drawn definitive conclusions concerning the productivity of distant employees, the opinion of many senior executives – especially in technology — is working from home something of a failed experiment?

However, perhaps some clients will give you the option to justify Starline purely for virtual inter-office conferences. Indeed, last 12 months Google said WeWork, T-Mobile and Salesforce were testing a prototype version of the technology.
