Your Weekly VR News – May 14th – 21th
This is your weekly VR News (May), if you want to stay up to date, make sure to keep reading until the last bit as this week was quite good for VR.
1. Google’s Project Starline – The 3D & Lifelike Zoom for meetings and calls
Project Starline is a telepresence platform that lets you communicate with others in a realistic and immersive way using 3D capture and display technology. It’s like a magic window where you can see, talk and gesture with other people as if they were right in front of you, life-size and in three dimensions!
Google has been working on this project since 2021 and after a long time without news about the project, this week Google unveiled a new prototype that has a simpler design and can fit into more offices. They have also developed new AI techniques so that it only requires a few standard cameras to produce high-quality 3D images. Imagine being able to have a face-to-face conversation with your loved ones, friends or coworkers who are far away, without any glasses or headsets!
Project Starline while it has the potential to revolutionize remote working meetings and calls, it will probably end up on the forgotten technologies vault, as this kind of tech is still not being mass adopted and therefore being abandoned very quickly after realease, hopefully it won’t happen to Google on this one.
If you want to read more about it, be sure to check Google’s own article about it
