HP Unveils HP Dimension with Google Beam for Enterprise
Last year, HP announced its plan to be the first to offer hardware based on Google Beam (formerly known as ‘Project Starline’), the light field-based 3D videoconferencing platform. Now, HP has revealed ‘Dimension’, a device targeted towards enterprise customers with a price tag of $25,000.
HP Dimension with Google Beam utilizes six cameras and cutting-edge AI technology to generate a lifelike 3D video of each participant. These videos are displayed on a special 65-inch light field display, providing realistic size, depth, color, and eye contact.
The device is set to be available for select partners starting in late 2025, priced at $25,000. It’s important to note that the Google Beam license is sold separately and not included in this price.
Designed primarily for enterprise use, HP Dimension supports Zoom Rooms and Google Meet, enabling both 3D immersive chats and traditional 2D group meetings. It seamlessly integrates with cloud-based video services like Teams and Webex.
Helen Sheirbon, SVP and President of Hybrid Systems at HP Inc., expressed, “We believe that meaningful collaboration thrives on authentic human connections, which is why we partnered with Google to bring HP Dimension with Google Beam out of the lab and into the enterprise. HP Dimension with Google Beam bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds to create lifelike virtual communication experiences that bring us closer together.”
Google Beam, formerly known as ‘Project Starlight’, was first introduced in 2021. It utilizes a light-field display to deliver natural 3D depth without the need for XR headsets or glasses, simulating a face-to-face conversation between individuals.
In testing, HP found that Beam enhances communication by increasing non-verbal behaviors by 39%, improving turn-taking by 37%, and boosting memory recall by 28% compared to traditional videoconferencing platforms.
