Google's Starline: A Promising Work in Progress for 3D Video Chat

Google's Project Starline, a 3D video chat system that simulates depth on a flat screen, aims to make remote conversations more engaging and human. The latest version of Starline, showcased at Code Conference 2023, features a portable TV-sized display with six cameras that track body movements and create a 3D effect. Users can pick up on nonverbal cues and gestures, leading to more natural and immersive conversations. The Starline team believes that this technology can bridge the gap between video calls and in-person interactions, with potential applications in corporate settings. While still a prototype, Google is exploring different form factors and aims to make the system more accessible in the future.

Google's Project Starline revolutionizes remote work with AI-powered prototype.

Google's Project Starline, a videoconferencing system that uses AI to create photorealistic 3D images of people, has been reduced to the size of a flat-screen TV and stand. The technology combines feeds from several standard cameras and sensors to create realistic images that make it seem like the person is right in front of you. Companies like T-Mobile, Salesforce, and WeWork have already tried the latest prototype through an early access program. Project Starline has the potential to create authentic and immersive connections that foster deeper relationships with employees and customers, enhance trust and transparency, and drive productivity and efficiency.

Google's Project Starline brings holographic meetings to life.

Google has made new prototypes of its Project Starline holographic video conferencing experiment that are smaller and easier to deploy. The company hopes to get real-world feedback from early access partners including T-Mobile, WeWork, and Salesforce to "see how Project Starline can help distributed workforces stay connected." The experience was impressive, with realistic projections and nonverbal cues, but there were minor issues such as glitches and audio problems. While it's still a long way off from being available in homes, Google's work on Project Starline is worth keeping an eye on.

Google's Project Starline Prototype: Holographic Meetings on a TV-Sized Scale

Google's Project Starline, a glasses-free 3D technology for video conferencing, has shrunk to the size of a large TV and is being tested in trial groups at Salesforce, T-Mobile, and WeWork. The new design is made to sit next to a desk, creating a more traditional video conferencing system. The technology creates a realistic eye contact experience and is an intermediary step towards holographic collaboration without the need for wearing anything at all.
