HP REVEALS FIRST GOOGLE BEAM 3D VIDEO CONFERENCING SETUP, PRICED AT $25,000

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google's Project Starline was reborn as Google Beam at Google I/O last month. The 3D conferencing system, which uses a lot of advanced hardware, makes users look like they're in the same room as each other. HP has revealed the first Beam setup - the HP Dimension will be available later this year for $24,999. It will come with a 65-inch display (Beam systems will have displays of various sizes) and also support regular 2D chats using Zoom and Google Meet. Google Beam's video model requires a lot of intense cloud processing, so customers will also have to pay for a Google Beam license on top of the hardware - prices for the licenses have not yet been released.
