Project Starline is a breakthrough technology project that creates an experience where friends, families, and coworkers can feel like they're together, despite being at a distance. It utilizes advancements in AI, 3D imaging, and other technologies to function like a 'magic window.' Through this window, users can talk, gesture, and make eye contact as if they were in the same room, enhancing the sense of presence and making interactions feel more in-person.

The benefits of using Project Starline for meetings include:

• A heightened sense of being in the same room, which is not typically achieved with traditional video calls.
• Improved attentiveness and memory recall during meetings.
• An overall enhanced sense of presence, leading to interactions that resemble in-person communication, even when participants are thousands of miles apart.

Project Starline is set to begin commercialization in 2025. The technology is being brought out of the lab in partnership with HP, with plans to integrate it into existing video conferencing services like Google Meet and Zoom.

HP is partnering with Google on Project Starline due to their expertise in computing and investment in Poly’s collaboration solutions. HP is positioned to deliver new and innovative experiences globally. Alex Cho, President of Personal Systems at HP, emphasizes the importance of an immersive collaboration experience in creating authentic human connections, especially in hybrid environments. The partnership aims to harness the power of AI to shape the future of collaboration.
