HP & Google Expand AI-Powered 3D Collaboration to More Workplaces
AI is moving into the meeting room as HP and Google expand an enterprise collaboration system designed to make remote conversations feel more like face-to-face interactions. The post HP & Google Expand AI-Powered 3D Collaboration to More Workplaces appeared first on TechRepublic .
HP and Google are broadening access to their AI-powered 3D collaboration system, HP Dimension with Google Beam, to more workplaces across the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. This technology uses AI to preserve visual cues like eye contact and body language that are often lost in conventional video calls. The expanded availability gives organizations the opportunity to enhance remote conversations with richer visual interaction.
HP Dimension combines six-camera capture, a 3D light-field display, spatial audio, and AI to create near-life-size, three-dimensional images of participants. This approach preserves critical visual cues that are harder to interpret in standard video meetings. Importantly, employees do not need any special devices to use the 3D experience.
The expanded rollout supports existing collaboration platforms such as Google Meet, Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, simplifying deployment for businesses already using these systems. IT teams can introduce Beam for meetings that require enhanced visual communication while keeping their existing meeting software for routine calls.
The system's benefits are being explored by various companies, including Netflix and Capital Group, as well as Bain & Company, which piloted the technology for recruitment interviews. Initial findings suggest that the 3D experience can improve attentiveness, personal connection, and recall of information during conversations. However, CIOs will need to evaluate whether these improvements translate into tangible business outcomes for their specific use cases.
To test the technology, HP offers a lower-commitment option through Industrious, a flexible-workspace provider, with availability beginning in October at selected locations in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, and Palo Alto. This allows businesses to evaluate the system before investing in dedicated hardware. HP Dimension with Google Beam has the potential to enhance client meetings, mentoring sessions, recruitment interviews, and complex working sessions, where nuanced nonverbal cues can significantly impact the outcome of interactions.
