HP Unveils Cutting-Edge Technology for Enterprise Communication

In a groundbreaking move, HP has debuted the HP Dimension, the first hardware specifically designed to harness the power of Google Beam, the revolutionary 3D video communication technology formerly known as Project Starline. Priced at a staggering $24,999, this device integrates a stunning 65-inch light field display along with six high-speed cameras to deliver an unparalleled, lifelike 3D video experience.

A New Era in Video Communication

Announced just last month, Google’s rebranding of Project Starline opens the door for third-party manufacturers to create devices based on this innovative design framework. HP is leading the charge, aiming to redefine how enterprises communicate. However, this sleek piece of technology doesn’t come with software—users must separately purchase a Google Beam license to connect via popular platforms like Zoom or Google Meet. The exact cost of this license remains undisclosed.

Say Goodbye to Headsets and Special Rooms!

What’s more, with a demo from Google Beam, it’s clear you won’t need any cumbersome headsets or special glasses to experience your colleagues as if they were right alongside you. Beau Wilder, HP’s head of future customer experiences, emphasized that no special room is necessary, although a plain white background can enhance the experience.

Create Genuine Connections in the Digital Space

Wilder expressed HP’s vision: “We’re not trying to put a caricature in a small box across the table. We want instant eye contact without any effort.” Users will still be able to connect with others using different video conferencing platforms, although those calls won’t showcase the 3D projection benefits of the HP Dimension.

Unmatched Audio-Visual Experience

Alongside its impressive visual capabilities, the HP Dimension boasts adaptive lighting that adjusts to your environment, ensuring realistic shadows and natural skin tones. Furthermore, the device is equipped with spatial audio technology that maintains a seamless connection between voices and visuals.

The Future of Collaboration is Here!

Andrew Nartker, the general manager of Google Beam, encapsulated the goal: “The ultimate aim is to make you feel as if you’re truly there, collaborating side by side.” As companies like Salesforce, Deloitte, and NEC Corporation have already expressed their commitment to integrating Google Beam within their offices, the HP Dimension is poised to revolutionize workplace communication.

Global Launch Set for This Year!

Mark your calendars! The HP Dimension is set to launch later this year in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan, offering enterprises an exciting way to bridge the distance in our increasingly virtual world.
