Google first took the wraps off Project Starline during Google I/O in 2021. Its first iteration involved a 3D video chat booth where you see a projection of the person you’re chatting with and they see a projection of you — almost like you’re talking to each other in the same room.
But Google later fit the technology into what looks like a large TV with a camera system mounted on the top, rather than an entire booth, making it more practical for offices and conference rooms.

Now Google says it’s finally taking Project Starline “out of the lab” and bringing it to the workplace. It’s teaming up with HP to commercialize the product. “We are proud to partner with Google to bring this technology to market, harnessing the power of AI to shape the future of collaboration,” Alex Cho, the president of personal systems at HP, says in a statement.
Google says it will share more details about Project Starline later this year.
