Google says ‘Project Starline’ now ‘Google Beam’ AI-first communication platform

Google stated in a blog post in conjunction with its I/O Conference: “A few years ago, we introduced Project Starline, a research project with the ambitious goal of redefining video communication. Project Starline enabled remote conversations that felt remarkably like being in the same room, all without the need for specialized glasses or headsets. Today, we’re announcing that Project Starline is evolving into a new 3D video communication platform: Google Beam. The Google Beam platform will use AI to enable a new generation of devices that help people make meaningful connections, no matter where they are. Our state-of-the-art AI volumetric video model is what makes these calls appear fully 3D from any perspective. It transforms standard 2D video streams into realistic 3D experiences, allowing you to connect in a more natural and intuitive way.”
