Alright, so here’s the deal. I was checking out this Google thing today – they’ve got this developer shindig called I/O. Anyway, I got sidetracked by this, like, really intriguing piece of tech they’re pushing. Bear with me; it’s kinda cool. It’s called Google Beam. Catchy, right? Not that inventive if you ask me, but whatever. It’s like they’re finally bringing this immersive video thingy, you know, Project Starline? – to our lives, but now with HP tagging along.
Honestly, when I first heard about Starline in 2021, I thought it was just one of those VR gizmos that needs a headset. But nah, they went all out with the camera and light-field display jazz. Imagine seeing someone in 3D, right in front of you, without any bulky glasses or stuff on your face. It’s like chatting, face-to-face, minus the physical awkwardness. Ever tried that? It’s like talking to my reflection, but not really.
So, fast forward to today, and they’ve jazzed it up a bit more. The name is kinda meh if you ask me – Google Beam. But hey, whatever floats their boat. I caught a glimpse of it, and yeah, it’s evolved from when they first threw it out there. It’s a bit more polished, and it seems they’re aiming for the big players – enterprise folks. Makes sense, I guess. Those guys are always on video calls, pretending they’re not in their pajamas. Or maybe that’s just me.
As for details? Yeah, they kept it vague. Typical. HP’s got more in store, supposedly in a few weeks. Classic “stay tuned” tease, right? But hey, if they’re pulling off what they promise, maybe it’ll change how we all gossip on video calls. And with my luck, my Wi-Fi will flop at the wrong moment. Go figure.
I dunno how it’ll pan out, but I’m all ears. Now, where was I? Oh right, lunch.
