Picture using video chat like Zoom, except instead of seeing the person you call on a screen, it feels as if they are physically sitting across from you.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Google unveiled Project Starline, an ambitious video chat tool using 3D imaging to make it look like participants are together in the same room.<\/p>\n

The technology<\/a> combines research in machine learning, spatial audio, computer vision and real-time compression to create the effect. It also uses a light field display system to create volume and depth without requiring the users wear special headsets or glasses.<\/p>\n

“Imagine looking through a sort of magic window, and through that window, you see another person, life-size and in three dimensions,” writes Google Vice President Clay Bavor in a blog post. “You can talk naturally, gesture and make eye contact.”<\/p>\n

For now, Project Starline is only available in a handful of Google offices and requires special equipment. But Bavor says it’s Google’s goal to “make this technology more affordable and accessible.”<\/p>\n

The tech is being tested among Google employees and demonstrated to enterprise partners in healthcare and media<\/a>. Google plans to deploy Project Starline on a trial basis to additional partners later this year, said Bavor.<\/p>\n
