Google Beam Enhances Hybrid Meetings With AI

Google Beam is introducing an experiment to improve hybrid meeting experiences by rendering remote participants in true-to-life size and using spatial audio. This aims to bridge the 'inclusion gap' in remote collaboration, making virtual attendees feel more present and engaged. The platform's research indicates a significant increase in social connection and contribution ability for remote participants. Google is also working on integrations with Google Workspace and Zoom to further elevate meeting quality, leveraging AI and immersive display technologies to create a more connected and productive hybrid work environment.
