Google has announced that its Beam 3D video conferencing technology is being deployed at 20 United Service Organizations (USO) locations worldwide. This initiative will allow active military members to communicate with family members using the advanced 3D holographic system. The rollout follows a successful pilot program that connected a Beam system at Fort Bliss, Texas, with another in Poland.
Google Beam, formerly known as Project Starline, uses six cameras, AI-assisted video models, and a specialized light display to project lifelike 3D holograms in real time. The technology includes head tracking and spatial audio to enhance the immersive experience. While the deployment at USO centers is confirmed, it remains unclear whether this signals a broader commercial rollout of the technology.
