Goodbye Project Starline, hello Google Beam 3D video conferencing


The experimental Project Starline has gone from goals to (corporate) reality.

Google first teased Project Starline in 2021, billing it at the time as a "magic window" that uses special hardware, computer vision and machine learning to create an almost holographic video call experience. Adding to the computer vision and machine learning that already go into Project Starline (now Beam), Google says the platform will "use AI to enable a new generation of devices that help people make meaningful connections, no matter where they are." Part of this is a "state-of-the-art AI volumetric video model" and that, plus some power via Google Cloud, combined with the light field display from before, is what makes the calls "appear fully 3D from any perspective."
