All views are my own and do not represent Google. Please review my **[Disclosures](https://starikov.co/disclosures/)**. At Google I/O 2025, Project Starline was announced within the first ten minutes of the keynote — now reintroduced as Google Beam. ✨ ![](https://starikov.co/content/images/2025/05/google_beam.png) Instead of a flat webcam view, Beam uses AI with a special curved “light-field” screen and multiple cameras to recreate each person as a life-sized, 3D image. The effect is like talking through a clear window: your remote friend or colleague looks as if they’re really sitting right across from you, not just appearing flat on a screen. > Behind the scenes, an array of six cameras captures you from different angles. And with AI, we can merge these video streams together and render you on a 3D light field display with near-perfect headtracking down to the millimeter and at 60 frames per second, all in real time.
