Google I/O: All you need to know about Beam, Google's 3D video calling tech
Google describes Beam as an AI-first video communication platform that enables people to connect, collaborate, and communicate in 3D, with life-sized realism At the Google I/O keynote, Google unveiled Google Beam, a next-generation 3D video communication platform designed to make remote conversations feel as natural as in-person meetings. Building on the foundation of Project Starline, Beam leverages artificial intelligence to transform standard 2D video streams into immersive 3D experiences on supported devices. Google also announced that select Beam capabilities—like real-time speech translation—are coming to Google Meet. What if you could take a 2D video call and make it feel like you're really there? Google Beam, our new AI-first video communication platform, does just that — using a state-of-the-art AI video model to transform 2D video streams into a realistic 3D experience. #GoogleIO — Google (@Google) May 20, 2025 What is Google Beam? Google describes Beam as an AI-first video communication platform that enables people to connect, collaborate, and communicate in 3D, with life-sized realism. Drawing on Project Starline's 3D video technology, Beam is designed to power a new generation of AI-enabled devices, offering what Google calls a 'true-to-life human connection.' By capturing depth and detail—such as facial expressions, eye contact, and subtle gestures—Beam aims to make virtual conversations more engaging and emotionally rich. Users will be able to pick up on cues like a smile or a glance, making interactions feel less artificial. How Google Beam works At the core of Google Beam is a proprietary AI volumetric video model, which enables fully 3D video rendering from multiple angles. The system uses a six-camera array to capture the speaker from different perspectives. Google's AI then merges these streams in real time, generating a volumetric 3D reconstruction that adds depth to the image. On the receiving end, supported devices use a custom light field display to present a lifelike, three-dimensional representation of the caller—giving the illusion that the person is sitting across from you, rather than on a screen. Google said that the model runs on Google Cloud, which enables the feature to offer enterprise-grade reliability, and compatibility with existing conferencing workflows. Availability Google has partnered with HP to develop the first devices built specifically for Google Beam. These devices will be officially unveiled at InfoComm 2025 next month and are expected to be available to select customers later this year. Google is also working with channel partners such as Diversified and AVI-SPL to expand Beam's reach across businesses and organisations globally. In addition, Google announced that Beam-powered real-time speech translation is coming to Google Meet. The feature delivers low-latency translations that preserve tone and expression. It is now available in beta for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, with support initially offered for English and Spanish.

Google I/O 2025: Beam announced, aims to make 3D video conferencing a reality
At Google I/O 2025, the company officially announced Beam, a new 3D video conferencing system that aims to make virtual conversations feel much more like real-life meetings. Previously known as Project Starline, Beam has been in development for a few years and is now moving out of the research phase and into the workplace. The technology uses AI, 3D imaging, and special displays to show people in full size and depth, so it feels like they're sitting right in front of you, even if they're far away. No headsets or glasses are needed, and the idea is to bring back natural eye contact, gestures and the kind of presence you only get in face-to-face works by taking regular video and using AI to turn it into a 3D image that can be viewed from different angles. This helps people connect more naturally, picking up on small expressions, voice tone and body language — things that often get lost on standard video calls. The platform runs on Google Cloud and is designed to work with tools businesses already use, so they don't have to change everything to get is working with HP to bring Beam into offices, which will launch the first Beam devices later this year. These devices will be shown at the upcoming InfoComm event. Google also plans to make Beam work with common video platforms like Google Meet and Zoom, so teams can join Beam calls without needing to switch In addition, Google is teaming up with companies like Zoom, Diversified and AVI-SPL to help more organisations start using Beam. Some well-known names — including Deloitte, Salesforce, Citadel, NEC, Hackensack Meridian Health and Duolingo — are already trying out the technology. Angel Ayala, Managing Director at Deloitte Consulting, said Beam is 'not just a technological breakthrough but a reimagining of how we connect.'Google is also adding live speech translation to its video services. Starting with Google Meet and coming to Beam in the future, this feature lets people have conversations in different languages, with real-time translations that keep their original voice and tone. This could make international meetings feel much more personal and Beam, Google wants to make video calls feel more real, not just in how people look, but in how they connect and communicate. More updates are expected in the coming months as Beam rolls out to more businesses around the world.
