Users require an ezeep Business or Enterprise subscription with pull printing policy enabled, plus a Workpath-compatible HP device. ThinPrint is ISO 27001-certified.

HP & Google expand ai-powered 3D collaboration to more workplaces. AI is moving into the meeting room as HP and Google expand an enterprise collaboration system designed to make remote conversations feel more like face-to-face interactions. Sep 30, 2026 We may earn from vendors via affiliate links or sponsorships. This might affect product placement on our site, but not the content of our reviews. See our Terms of Use for details. On September 23, HP and Google announced expanded availability of HP Dimension with Google Beam across the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. The 3D video communication system uses AI to preserve visual cues lost in conventional video calls, including eye contact and body language. The expansion gives more organizations access to a technology that has spent several years moving from Google research into commercial deployment. For CIOs, this will determine which meetings benefit from richer visual interaction and whether those use cases warrant investment in dedicated 3D collaboration systems. What is HP Dimension with Google Beam? HP Dimension with Google Beam is a 3D video communication system developed through a partnership between HP and Google. Google originally introduced the underlying technology as Project Starline before bringing it into the enterprise as Google Beam. HP describes the system as combining six-camera capture, a 3D light-field display, spatial audio, and AI. As the cameras capture a participant from multiple angles, AI combines those views into a near life-size, three-dimensional image. This approach aims to preserve eye contact and other visual cues that are harder to interpret during video calls. Employees do not need headsets, glasses, or other wearable devices to use the 3D experience. HP Dimension also works with existing collaboration platforms, so companies don't need to replace their current meeting software. Besides Google Meet and Zoom Rooms, HP says the system supports 2D meetings and interoperability with services such as Microsoft Teams and Webex. With enterprises already using established meeting platforms, this compatibility simplifies enterprise deployment. IT teams can introduce Beam for meetings that benefit from richer visual interaction while employees continue using their existing platforms for routine calls. HP & Google are expanding access beyond early deployments. The September 23 announcement expands Beam beyond early enterprise deployments to a larger geographic and partner network. HP Dimension with Google Beam is now available across six countries, with 18 partners supporting deployment. Companies using or testing the technology include Netflix and Capital Group, while Bain & Company previously piloted the system for recruitment interviews. As part of HP's wider collaboration push, the company also announced new room systems at InfoComm 2026, including integrations between HP Poly Lens and the HP Workforce Experience Platform. Companies can also test the technology through Industrious, a global flexible-workspace provider, before deploying it in their offices. Beginning in October, HP Dimension with Google Beam will be available to book at selected Industrious locations in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, and Palo Alto. This gives businesses a lower-commitment way to evaluate the system before investing in dedicated hardware. Wider availability should also provide more evidence about which workplace use cases continue after initial trials. Where could 3D meetings fit into the workplace? Traditional video conferencing works for many routine interactions, from status updates to large team meetings. A 3D meeting system targets conversations where participants depend on facial expressions, eye contact, and body language. HP points to client meetings, mentoring, recruitment, and complex working sessions as potential use cases. In interviews, coaching sessions, and client discussions, nonverbal responses can affect how participants interpret confidence, hesitation, or engagement. Bain & Company tested HP Dimension with Google Beam during candidate recruitment calls. According to HP, the 3D experience benefited interviews by emphasizing body language and eye contact as they evaluated candidates. One-to-one employee conversations provide another possible use case. Managers who oversee distributed teams may use the system for coaching sessions or recurring one-to-one meetings with employees they rarely meet in person. Companies still need to determine whether the difference is significant enough for each use case. A weekly project update may work well over a regular video call, while client negotiations or senior-level interviews may benefit more from richer visual communication. Google says early research found changes in how people communicate. Google has studied how its 3D communication technology affects behavior compared with traditional video meetings. HP cites Google research that found participants recalled 28% more information after conversations conducted through the technology. Researchers also observed 39% more nonverbal behavior, including hand gestures and head movements. Participants spent 14% more time looking at the other person's face compared with traditional video calls. Google has also tested Beam in workplace settings. HP reports that more than 87% of participants in an internal Google pilot rated their Beam meetings higher than traditional video conferencing across measures such as attentiveness and personal connection. Google's findings show changes in participant behavior, but they do not establish that every organization will see the same business results. CIOs will need to test whether the technology reduces follow-up meetings or improves recruitment and employee experience in their workplace. Depending on the use case, organizations could also track travel requirements or meeting frequency. Those measures can determine whether the technology affects work outcomes beyond participant preference. CIOs need to decide where immersive meetings justify the investment. CIOs should first estimate how often employees would use the system and which locations have enough demand to justify installation. They also need to review software compatibility, room requirements, and the required IT support for deployment across multiple offices. Support for Google Meet and Zoom may ease adoption for organizations already using those platforms. However, IT teams still need to confirm how Beam will work with their current meeting setup. Organizations should define how they will measure success before expanding access. Employee feedback can reveal whether participants prefer the experience, while operational data can indicate whether Beam reduces repeat meetings or changes travel needs. CIOs can apply the same test for other workplace technology investments: define the use case first, then measure whether the technology improves the outcome enough to justify wider deployment. The wider rollout will test where 3D collaboration belongs. The six-country rollout moves HP Dimension with Google Beam into a wider enterprise rollout. More organizations can now evaluate whether 3D collaboration changes outcomes in meetings where visual communication plays a larger role. For CIOs, the announcement also broadens the definition of AI workplace investment. Employee devices remain one part of the equation, while shared collaboration technology is becoming another area where AI may influence how distributed teams work. FAQs. What is AI-powered workplace collaboration? AI-powered workplace collaboration uses AI to improve how employees communicate across locations. Examples include meeting systems that enhance visual interaction, software that summarizes discussions, and workplace platforms that help IT manage collaboration technology. How does AI improve workplace collaboration? AI can improve workplace collaboration by reducing communication gaps across distributed teams. Depending on the system, it may support meeting transcription, content summaries, visual interaction, or device management that helps employees use collaboration tools more consistently. What should CIOs consider before investing in AI-powered collaboration tools? CIOs should identify the meetings that require richer visual communication, estimate expected usage, and review compatibility with existing platforms. They should also define measurable outcomes before expanding deployment, such as changes in travel requirements, meeting frequency, or employee experience.
