Google said it is testing a new experiment for Google Beam that brings better group meetings across more devices. The company said the update uses HP Dimension’s immersive display to render participants joining from non-Beam devices in their true size, positioned as if they were sitting around a table.
The system also uses spatial audio that anchors each voice directly to the person speaking. Google said this makes colleagues look, sound, and feel more like they are in the same room.
The optimization happens automatically whether a user joins from home or the office. Google said its research suggests approaches like these help close the hybrid “inclusion gap” by facilitating a 50% stronger sense of social connection and a 21% increase in reported ability to contribute to conversations.
Google also said it is continuing to work with Google Workspace and Zoom to help improve the meetings people have today on Google Beam.
