Dubia, UAE — Today at InfoComm 2025, HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) unveiled HP Dimension with Google Beam (formerly Project Starline), an AI-powered, true-to-life 3D video communications solution designed to take virtual collaboration to the next level. HP Dimension with Google Beam delivers a deeply immersive experience that replicates the feeling of being in-person, with no headsets, glasses, or wearables required.
Developed in partnership with Google, HP Dimension with Google Beam is designed to transform the future of workplace communications by combining breakthrough 3D imaging, natural eye contact, spatial audio, and adaptive lighting into an elegant solution for small meeting spaces.
Taking Virtual Collaboration to the Next Dimension
As organizations with distributed workforces embrace the new world of work, a critical gap has emerged between virtual and in-person communication. While video conferencing tools have enabled teams to stay in touch across time zones, they often fall short in replicating the in-person experience.
Today, 73% of knowledge workers say they want to feel more connected to their coworkers.
HP Dimension with Google Beam is designed to establish deeper, more meaningful connections. It uses six cameras and state of the art AI to create a true-to-life 3D video of each participant, displayed on a special light field display with realistic size, depth, color, and eye contact. Testing, has shown a measurable impact compared to traditional video calls, with participants who used the solution for meetings reporting:
A 28% increase in memory recall
Up to 39% more non-verbal behaviors displayed
At least 14% increase in focus on the meeting partner
These findings translate to faster alignment, more meaningful exchanges, and better business outcomes based on the authenticity of each interaction. HP Dimension with Google Beam brings depth, clarity, empathy, and subtlety to virtual meetings to help redefine collaboration and bring people together, no matter how far apart they are.
HP Dimension with Google Beam will provide a native Zoom Rooms or Google Meet experience and support three functions: 3D immersive one-on-one communications, 2D traditional group meetings, and meeting interoperability with cloud-based video services such as Teams and Webex.
HP Dimension with Google Beam is Designed for the Future of Work
HP Dimension with Google Beam represents the culmination of HP's ongoing investment in innovation to create a culture with more immersive and authentic collaboration experiences designed for the Future of Work. HP and Google are taking this technology into the enterprise, to deliver deeper, more authentic human connection and communication.
"We believe that meaningful collaboration thrives on authentic human connections, which is why we partnered with Google to bring HP Dimension with Google Beam out of the lab and into the enterprise,' said Helen Sheirbon, SVP and President of Hybrid Systems, HP Inc. 'HP Dimension with Google Beam bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds to create lifelike virtual communication experiences that brings us closer together."
'HP Dimension with Google Beam needs to be seen to be believed – making it feel as though you are in the same room, even when you are miles apart,' said Andrew Nartker, General Manager of Google Beam, Google. 'We are excited to bring distributed teams together in a way that feels just like meeting in person, and HP is a perfect partner for this.'

Back to school in UAE: With over 500 customers a day, uniform shops brace for heavy rush

Some uniform shops in the UAE are seeing an average of more than 500 customers a day as parents prepare for the back-to-school season. Most of the shops are expecting the crowds to multiply towards the end of the month. 'We have an average of around 500 customers, if not more, coming in every day,' said a spokesperson for LCT uniforms in Karama. 'One batch of our stocks is almost over, and we have just placed a new order. Last weekend was extremely busy, and we are expecting the crowds to multiply over the next week, closer to school reopening. UAE schools will reopen on Monday, August 25, after almost two months of summer break. Last week, the Ministry of Education (MoE) announced a new structure for the academic calendar starting from 2025–2026, setting unified dates for the start of the academic year, end of the three terms and end of term breaks for all public and private schools nationwide. The spokesperson added that, contrary to previous years, there had been a steady stream of parents visiting the store throughout the summer. 'Usually our rush begins after the middle of August,' he said. 'However, this year, we had a steady stream of parents throughout the two months of summer. Some came as early as the second week of July because they wanted to finish off uniform shopping before they travelled for the break.' 'Waited for more than 20 minutes' Abu Dhabi resident Aalim Nadheer visited a uniform store earlier this week and waited more than 20 minutes to be served. 'The store has a policy that we have to book appointments online before going there,' he said. 'I didn't know this, but because the store was not very crowded, they gave me a token number and buzzer. We walked around the mall, and in less than 30 minutes, the buzzer rang.' He added that he considered himself lucky to be served so quickly. 'The staff said that if I had waited for a few more days, the rush would have multiplied as many parents come back by the middle of August,' he said. 'I know of people who waited hours last year. I didn't want to risk that, so I decided to get my shopping done early.' Hundreds of people At the Bimbino uniform store, which has outlets in Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Ain and Fujairah, the crowds have been steady. 'At our outlet in Sharjah, we are seeing hundreds of customers every day,' said a telephone operator. 'We have the uniforms of almost all schools, so a lot of parents prefer to come to us. Last weekend, we had a lot of rush as many parents are now returning after their vacations.' She added that the store was expecting more crowds and possible long queues on weekdays and weekends over the next two weeks. 'As the dates for school reopening draw closer, we are expecting the number of parents coming to us to multiply,' she said. 'That is what we have seen every year.'

UAE: Piloted flights of flying taxi to begin in the coming days, says Archer CEO

The US-based Archer Aviation, which will launch flying taxi operations in the UAE, is expected to begin piloted flights in the coming days ahead of the formal launch of services in Abu Dhabi later this year, said Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer. 'We expect the first piloted flight to take place within days. We've got a lot of confidence that we'll be in there soon… 2025 is an inflexion point on the commercial front. After years of engineering work and flight tests, the team is focused on transitioning to piloted operations in early commercial deployment. We remain on track to launch (flying taxi) later this year in the UAE, and are preparing for subsequent deployments with Midnight launch edition customers and several other international markets,' Goldstein said during the investor call after the second quarter results on Monday. 'The goal is for us to demonstrate the aircraft's capabilities, drive public acceptance, build operational excellence and generate early revenue. We remain on track to deliver our first piloted aircraft as part of that programme to Abu Dhabi aviation in the UAE later this year. We've already started the flight test programme for that aircraft here in California, and we expect piloted flights to begin in the coming days,' he said. Archer has tied up with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio) to launch, train staff and manufacture its flying car Midnight in the UAE. Archer signed definitive agreements with its partners, Abu Dhabi Aviation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, to activate the first of several planned 'lunch edition' programmes globally. As part of this, Archer delivered its first Midnight aircraft to the UAE, commenced its flight test programme in Abu Dhabi and expects initial commercial payments later this year. 'In the second quarter, we ramped aircraft manufacturing across our facilities in California and Georgia with six Midnight aircraft in production, including three in final assembly. Alongside major progress in the UAE, our selection as the Official Air Taxi Provider of LA28 Olympic Games, and two acquisitions to accelerate our defence program, we're executing from a position of strength with a sector-leading $1.7 billion of liquidity,' said Archer's founder. He said the company has been focusing on a commercially viable product. 'The aircraft testing we have been doing leading up to our planned early deployment in the UAE is critical for ensuring safety.' He added that Archer teams are collaborating through joint working sessions in the UAE and California, and the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is closely tracking all the progress with Midnight as they work with Archer on the pathway to begin flying passengers in the country. He added that other potential early adopter markets are also taking stock of what they are seeing in the UAE. 'We're seeing demand in a number of other countries for our launch edition programme.' Highlighting Archer's plan over the next few months ahead of the launch of the flying tax in Abu Dhabi, he said: 'Over the next several months, firstly, we're going to deliver an aircraft to the UAE later this summer. We'll start by doing some incremental testing out there, like validating performance in the higher temperature environment. Then we'll move on to improving routes on our intent networks in Abu Dhabi on the broader UAE, and then ultimately working towards sharing passengers again with Abu Dhabi Aviation,' he said.

Iraq in talks with China's Shanghai Electric for 10 GW power deal

Iraq's Ministry of Electricity is in final stages of discussions with China's Shanghai Electric to build power plants with a total capacity of up to 10,000 megawatts (MW), a senior official said. Qais Al-Waeli, Director of Media for Central Region Power Production, said the talks form part of the ministry's strategy to diversify partnerships with leading global energy companies. Iraq signed an agreement in April 2025 with U.S.-based GE Vernova for combined-cycle power plants totalling 24,000 MW, and an agreement in May 2025 with Germany's Siemens to add 14,000 MW of generation capacity to the national grid. Electricity generation in Iraq reached a record 28,000 MW this year, supported by long-term operations and maintenance contracts, plant upgrades, installation of advanced cooling systems, and partial reliance on imported fuel when required, according to Al-Waeli.
