Summary

Google's Project Starline, initially conceptualized as a "magic window" for virtual meetings, has evolved into Beam, an AI-driven 3D video communication platform. Launched at I/O 2025, Beam aims to offer a fully immersive experience with advanced AI and technologies like Google Cloud and light field displays. Enterprise clients will have access to the first Beam devices later this year, though pricing remains undisclosed. Beam's applications extend beyond consumer use, with collaborations planned for global expansion through partners like Zoom, HP, and tech companies including Duolingo, alongside Logitech's Project Ghost for enterprises requiring large-scale solutions.
