A big, bold idea
What would it take to recreate the
experience of being in the same room for
coworkers spread across the globe?

Google Labs set out to answer that question. Enter Project Starline – a first-of-its-kind experiment that used 3D video and spatial audio to replicate face-to-face conversation. Leveraging advances in hardware and AI, this early prototype helped interactions between people in different locations look, feel and flow just as they would in person.

Rigorous, real-world testing

To offer maximum value, the team spent years refining the product. Googlers were the first to adopt it, alongside major enterprises representing consulting firms, financial services, and retail companies. From high-stakes negotiations to collaborative meetings, pilot testers felt more presence with each interaction.
