Google's holographic Project Starline has shrunk to the size of a TV.
Google has reduced the size of its Project Starline glasses-free 3D technology to that of a large TV as it seeks to create a video conferencing system more suited to office use.
- The technology was originally designed as a room-size installation but has since been downsized to a prototype.
- The array of cameras and depth-sensing equipment on the system's first iteration created a realistic conversation experience where people seemed realistically sized.
- The new design is made to sit on a desk, making the other person in the video chat appear to be sitting across the desk.
- Salesforce, T-Mobile, and WeWork are trialing the technology to create a more realistic and personalized chat experience with realistic eye contact.
- Logitech has recently debuted a lounge-like videoconferencing alcove.
- Cisco launched Cisco TelePresence, an immersive videoconferencing system.
