HP Debuts a 3D Videoconference Display with Google Beam
June 16, 2025
HP has unveiled the HP Dimension, a 65-inch display created for use with the 3D Google Beam videoconferencing system. The $25,000 light field display system features six high-speed cameras built into the bezel, delivering what HP calls “true-to-life” 3D video of callers. Formerly known as Project Starline, Google Beam was rebranded last month in anticipation of the enterprise rollout. Designed to bring “natural eye contact, spatial audio and adaptive lighting” in 3D to small- and medium-sized meeting spaces, HP’s retail price does not include the Google Beam software, which must be licensed separately.
Introduced last week at InfoComm 2025 in Orlando, HP Dimension uses “state of the art AI to create realistic size, depth and color” to advance the goal of a more meaningful video call exchange between co-workers and business associates.
HP says participants in early Dimension tests report experiencing a 28 percent increase in memory recall, 39 percent increase in non-verbal cues and 14 percent more focus on the meeting partner.
HP’s announcement says that “while videoconferencing tools have enabled teams to stay in touch across time zones, they often fall short in replicating the in-person experience.” Tom’s Guide describes the experience as “more like you’re talking to a person on the other side of a window rather than someone sitting in an entirely different room.”
The multiple cameras capture a person’s image, feeding it to a volumetric AI model that generates the image in 3D. Aside from the Dimension display and Google Beam software, “you don’t need a headset, glasses, or any kind of special equipment to see a colleague as if they’re in the same room” writes The Verge.
HP Dimension with Google Beam will provide a native Zoom Rooms or Google Meet experience and support three functions: 3D immersive one-on-one communications, 2D traditional group meetings, and meeting interoperability with cloud-based video services such as Microsoft Teams and Cisco’s Webex.
The Verge says HP Dimension users can videoconference with people using other platforms, but will lose the 3D effect.
Google is “also exploring speech translation with Google Beam,” according to a May blog post that announces the feature has just been released to Google Meet, “enabling authentic, near real-time translated conversations while maintaining voice, tone and expressions.” Available in initially in Spanish and English, Google says more languages will be added in the coming weeks.
