Two people using American sign language have a conversation seated on the same side of an office table. One person signs “That’s not a good idea”. Close up of person’s face while signing.

Camera moves back to reveal the Beam display and table and that they are using Beam for their conversation. We see both individuals on the Beam display gesturing and smiling in conversation.

Redefining what it means to connect

After years of research, we’ve created a new platform that redefines how we connect. Google Beam builds on Project Starline’s breakthrough 3D video technology to enable the next generation of AI-first products designed for true-to-life human connection.
