Project Starline, announced by Google in 2021, aims to be able to communicate with people in remote areas as if they were actually there by using technology to express the other party as a realistic 3D hologram. I was doing it. Google describes the tool developed by Project Starline as a 'magic mirror', and it is possible to enjoy a natural conversation with the other party through this 'mirror'.

In 2021, Project Starline was in the mid-development stage and required custom hardware and highly specialized equipment to use. So when it was announced, Project Starline was huge, and its use cases were severely limited.
In the latest Project Starline prototype that Google announced at Google I / O this time, the original purpose of making conversation with the other party as realistic as possible is still the same, Project Starline is as small as about 40 inches TV. The number of cameras is being reduced as the number of cameras is decreasing. The successful miniaturization has made it easier to move around the office.
Below is a video introducing the latest prototype of Project Starline released by Google. Dedicated cameras are provided on the top, left and right sides of the screen to capture the visual data necessary to generate the 3D model.

Project Starline, which was released in 2021, required a number of cameras to capture the target person from all angles, and the installation required the size of a room. However, in the latest prototype released this time, it is possible to generate a 3D model of the subject with several cameras by using AI and machine learning technology. Google said, 'Project Starline so far was the size of a restaurant table seat, but the new prototype has been downsized to the size of a flat-screen TV.'
'Previous Project Starline prototypes required complex hardware, such as infrared emitters and specialized cameras, to generate a live 3D model of the person you were talking to,' Google said. The size became huge, and it was difficult to introduce it into the office.'
Google has shared the latest prototype of Project Staline announced this time with Salesforce , T-Mobile and WeWork , and is seeking feedback on how smooth conversations can be with employees working in various offices.
Andy White, senior vice president of business technology at Salesforce, said, 'Project Starline can foster deeper relationships with both employees and customers, increasing trust and transparency. It can also help create authentic, immersive communications that can increase work productivity and efficiency.”
