combines a breakthrough 3D light field display, adaptive lighting, six-camera capture, spatial audio, and AI to create lifelike, immersive meetings – no wearables required.
Taking Virtual Collaboration to the Next Dimension
As organizations with distributed workforces embrace the new world of work, a critical gap has emerged between virtual and in-person communication. While video conferencing tools have enabled teams to stay in touch across time zones, they often fall short in replicating the in-person experience.
Today, 73% of knowledge workers say they want to feel more connected to their coworkers. ii
HP Dimension with Google Beam is designed to establish deeper, more meaningful connections. It uses six cameras and state of the art AI to create a true-to-life 3D video of each participant, displayed on a special light field display with realistic size, depth, color, and eye contact. Testingiii, has shown a measurable impact compared to traditional video calls, with participants who used the solution for meetings reporting:
- A 28% increase in memory recall
- Up to 39% more non-verbal behaviors displayed
- At least 14% increase in focus on the meeting partner
These findings translate to faster alignment, more meaningful exchanges, and better business outcomes based on the authenticity of each interaction. HP Dimension with Google Beam brings depth, clarity, empathy, and subtlety to virtual meetings to help redefine collaboration and bring people together, no matter how far apart they are.
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 Teams and Webex.iv
