Google Beam: Our AI-first 3D video communication platform

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.

AI is creating meaningful connections

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.

Google Beam is built on the power and scale of Google Cloud, combined with our expertise in AI. This allows Google Beam to deliver enterprise-grade reliability, compatibility with your existing workflow and true-to-life 3D video communication.

The combination of our AI video model and our light field display creates a profound sense of dimensionality and depth. This is what allows you to make eye contact, read subtle cues and build understanding and trust as if you were face-to-face.
