Google Beam brings 3D to video chat — here's how it works
Project Starline has a new name — and a looming launch
Google I/O 2025: Google Beam Brings 3D Video Conferencing to Life Google's highly anticipated Google I/O 2025 conference brought several exciting announcements, but one stood out: the launch of Google Beam, a groundbreaking 3D video conferencing technology. Developed from the earlier Project Starline, Beam promises to revolutionize remote communication. The technology employs an array of six cameras and sophisticated AI to capture participants from multiple angles, creating a lifelike 3D representation. The video demonstrates incredibly smooth head tracking, operating at an impressive 60 frames per second, resulting in a natural and immersive experience. "The result is a much more natural, deeply immersive conversational experience," explains a presenter in the video demonstration. The partnership with HP ensures the technology's accessibility, with the first Google Beam devices slated for release to early customers later this year. This launch marks a significant step towards making high-quality 3D video conferencing a reality, promising to transform how we connect and collaborate remotely.
