Unveiling Tomorrow: GOOGLE's Project Starline and the Future of Immersive Collaboration

With the work world growing more digital by the day, and the need for more authentic, human, remote communication growing stronger, AI has achieved breakthroughs in technologies set to reinvent the future of videoconferencing and hybrid work. GOOGLE’s Project Starline, developed with HP, will specifically be the highlight for I/O 2024.

Harnessing the Power of AI for Lifelike Conversations

The Evolution of Project Starline

Unveiled at this year’s I/O 2021 developer conference, Project Starline (which is named after Joshua Starling, the creator of the first cylinder-piston engine in 1845, who patented his first invention at the age of 13) has developed extensively since its inception, and GOOGLE’s new collaboration with HP is a significant step towards bringing this technology to commercial markets, with a hoped-for release in 2025. The technology promises to enable truly natural remote communications by delivering a truly convincing 3D display that approximates depth and movement more accurately than real-life interactions.

AI at the Heart of Innovation

The company effectively used AI to improve upon those Starline prototypes, shaving them down into the more functional devices we see now. That optimisation, so vital to enabling the technology to reach smaller and more portable form factors without sacrificing immersion, is core to GOOGLE’s design process.

A New Era of Hybrid Work

Enhancing Remote Collaboration

But it is equally a strategic move that will help define the roles that enterprise-grade technology will play in hybrid work, going forward. While it is an alliance aimed at addressing the challenges of hybrid work in organisations globally, the union of GOOGLE’s technology with HP’s distribution prowess, will make business sense. In fact, it is almost perfect fit for bringing Starline to market. Brought to you by HP Forward.

Integrating with Mainstream Platforms

Acknowledging that, he says: ‘GOOGLE wants to put Starline everywhere that video conferencing is used today, such as GOOGLE Meet and Zoom.’ This line-following approach to disruptive technology ensures that Project Starline won’t let users adapt to it, it’ll adapt to them.

Anticipated Impact on XR & Spatial Computing

The indications are good that the first major device made available for Android could have XR (Extended Reality) solutions front and centre at the top of a mountain in its 3D arts event to showcase a range of impressive and world-changing ‘next-generation’ immersive and spatial computer technologies – a huge global public push reaffirming their intent to control the consumerisation of the metaverse. And GOOGLE’s track record in AR/VR/MR technologies, all wrapped up in the broader Googleverse with the groundbreaking Project Starline likely to be followed by an even better one, means that any announcements could potentially be game-changing.

Project Starline and Beyond: Expanding GOOGLE's Technological Horizon

Nor is the acquisition of the patent for the North smart glasses by GOOGLE in 2020, discussed in the patent itself some time after during the application process, inconsequential. Further attention has been drawn to the company’s expanding technological array in AR/VR/MR and other domains of its business. If you look to other products the company has continued to develop beyond core search technology – such as smartphones, AI, and now cloud tech – Project Starline would still be exceptional in what it offers as a piece of GOOGLE technology. In particular, it points in a compelling direction by which GOOGLE, or another company, might develop a human-to-human virtual telepresence experience as a useful tool amid the changing nature of human existence in a digital age.

Looking Ahead: GOOGLE I/O and the Commerce of Innovation

Not only will the GOOGLE I/O conference demonstrate what the company is up to on the technology front, but the future of digital collaboration and beyond. GOOGLE and HP are leading the way toward scaling up the Project Starline hologram for commercialisation, as we all wait to see what comes next.

About GOOGLE

GOOGLE went public in 2004 when it was led by its cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who began the company as a search engine in 1998, but have since expanded it into a multinational technology company called Alphabet Inc since 2015. Responsible for design of countless products and services, such as its search and advertising platforms, operating systems, and a full range of hardware and other innovations, over the past decade, GOOGLE has led the way with innovations that have reengineered the way people live, work and socialise online.
