The world of technology is changing every day, and every day we get to see something new. The topic we are going to talk about today is an amazing and revolutionary innovation introduced by Google – Google Beam. It transforms ordinary video calls into a new, three-dimensional (3D) experience, which was till now seen only in movies and fiction.
What is Google Beam?
Google Beam is a 3D video calling system developed by Google, which gives you an experience as if your call partner is sitting in front of you instead of seeing him on the screen. This project is actually a developed and commercial version of Project Starline. Starline was being tested by Google for the last few years, and now it has been launched with a new technical identity – as Google Beam.
Google Beam aims to give people a “face-to-face” experience, no matter where they are, instead of connecting them through a screen.
How does it work?
Google Beam uses several advanced technologies that make it so impressive:
- Multi-camera setup
Google Beam uses 6 high-definition cameras that capture the caller from different angles. These cameras capture every gesture, expression, eye movement, and body position in detail.
- AI-based volumetric modeling
Google’s AI system processes the information from these cameras in real time and turns it into a 3D model. This model is called “volumetric video”, which is much more realistic than 2D.
- Real-time rendering
The most impressive feature of Beam is that all this processing happens in real time. That is, when you are talking, a 3D image of the person in front of you is created and visible to you – without any delay.
- Special display system
A special type of display is used in Beam which shows 3D images in front of your eyes in such a way that it seems to be present “outside the screen”. This technology does not require any kind of 3D glasses or headset.
Main advantages of Google Beam
- Immersive and natural experience
You will feel as if the person in front of you is actually in your room. This feeling is much better than any traditional video call.
- Clarity of body language and gestures
Through 3D technology, the body language, facial expressions and eye contact of the person in front are clearly understood, which makes the conversation more effective.
- Glassless 3D
To use Beam, neither a VR headset nor any special glasses are required. It can be installed in any user-friendly meeting space.
- Suitable for business use
Beam is specially designed for cases like corporate meetings, client presentations, teaching, healthcare consultations. This makes the experience of remote meetings similar to face-to-face meetings.
Availability and future plans
Google has not yet made Beam available on a large scale. It is currently available only to some companies and partners. Google has introduced the demo of Beam in collaboration with HP and Zoom. This technology will be publicly demonstrated at the InfoComm event in the year 2025.
Google will first bring this technology to companies and office spaces, where both its cost and usage can be balanced. Its consumer version may also come out in the coming time.
Will it reach the common people?
At present Beam is a high-end product, which is for the large corporate sector. But as the technology becomes cheaper and compact, Google may plan to make it available to common people as well. If this happens, a new 3D video calling experience will be added to all our homes.
Conclusion: Is Google Beam the future?
Absolutely! Google Beam is not only changing the way of video calling, but it is also making our digital conversations more human and emotional. This technology can bring revolution everywhere, from office meetings to medical consultations.
It would not be wrong to say that with the arrival of Beam, we will not only “call”, but will also be able to “meet” – that too from thousands of kilometers away.
If you are a technology enthusiast and want to understand the innovations of the future closely, then definitely follow Google Beam. This glimpse of the future is in front of us today.
