Sure, let’s give this a whirl:
—
So, HP decided to get fancy last year. They mentioned they’d be the trailblazers with something called Google Beam—formerly this quirky thing dubbed ‘Project Starline’. Anyway, fast-forward, and here we are with ‘Dimension’. The catch? It’s a whopping $25,000. Yeah, not your average gadget price.
Dimension, or whatever we wanna call it, is all about real-life-ish 3D video calls. It’s packing six cameras (no joke) and what they say is “state of the art AI”. Imagine talking to a big 65-inch screen that actually sorta looks like a real person’s there. Size, depth, eye contact—all that jazz. Supposedly.
Now, just a heads up, if you’re setting your heart on this, you’ll need to grab the Google Beam license separately. You know how those extras add up.
If you’re curious (or planning a purchase), sales start in 2025. But only for the “chosen ones”. High-end parties or something like that.
Oh, and this contraption does more than just dazzle in 3D. It’s built for the usual suspects like Zoom and Google Meet, but can also host your average 2D meeting with Teams or Webex. Versatile, right?
Helen Sheirbon from HP gets all philosophical about this (SVP types usually do), saying something along the lines of how real connections matter and blah blah—anyway, the idea is Dimension with Beam makes virtual chats feel like you’re practically shaking hands.
Google Beam’s been kicking around since 2021, if memory serves. It’s meant to make 3D chats feel natural, no sci-fi goggles needed. Just two humans having a chat—or so they claim.
HP brags about Beam’s features, mentioning folks notice more non-verbal cues and take turns talking better. Something about clearer memory too, they say. I mean, maybe you’ll feel like you’re on some sci-fi call, or perhaps it’s all fluff. Who’s to say?
Alright, enough rambling. If this strikes a chord or just seems like tech-wizardry, keep an eye out. Or maybe not. Your call.
