The following report is from XDA on May 19th, 2021:
Google’s redesign of Android 12 and partnership with Samsung on Wear OS grabbed all the headlines yesterday, but there was one announcement that shouldn’t go unnoticed. The search giant also shared details about Project Starline, an ambitious initiative that could transform how we communicate virtually.
Google said Project Starline has been a few years in the making, and combines advances in hardware and software to enable a videoconferencing experience that’s designed to make you feel like you’re with the person you’re talking to. In reality, you’re talking to them over video like you would via Zoom or Google Meet.
Imagine looking through a sort of magic window, and through that window, you see another person, life-sized and in three dimensions.

Google said to make Project Starline a reality, Google is applying research in computer vision, machine learning, spatial audio, and real-time compressions. The search giant said it also developed a light field system that can be experienced without the need of glasses or headsets. The result, as the video above shows, will make it feel like you’re in the same room with someone who is actually across the world.
Of course, all of this requires very specialized equipment; Project Starline is only available in a few of Google’s offices. But it’s an exciting step toward making videoconferencing feel less distant and more immediate. Because of the pandemic, a lot of people around the world couldn’t travel to see their friends and family, with many relying on video chat services. Project Starline still doesn’t beat the feeling of talking to someone face-to-face, but it’s allegedly the closest thing.
We believe this is where person-to-person communication technology can and should go, and in time, our goal is to make this technology more affordable and accessible, including bringing some of these technical advancements into our suite of communication products.
Google is planning to trial deployments of Project Starline with select enterprise partners later this year, and will continue to get feedback as the technology evolves. The search giant said it will share more information about the initiative later this year.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:4
The advanced future of videoconferencing is something that has been a point of reference in our reports about the coming smart cities and new networks that will be implemented, allowing for ubiquitous and seamless use – along with subsequent iterations and improvements.

Well precisely. Your freedoms are taken away but look how charitable they are, you get to be content with a 3D display, isn’t that wonderful?
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
That’s a good tie-in. I wonder if that is actually how the antichrist will appear to the world at once, in some precisely detailed hologram that appears in every temple and home?
Made me think of the image of the Beast as well, & reminded me of Marina Abramovich’s Microsoft commercial they pulled. So much wickedness operating behind the scenes. They try to spin it ‘liberal’ using that ‘Q’ spin & all, but when investigative reporting like Whitney Webb’s on the Epstein-Maxwell connections are considered, and truth pursued, it exposes them all & the connection to Silicon Valley, politics, science, & the ‘arts’. So much pertinent scripture. I was going to post links, but it’s just too vile & vexing, defiling. Showing the spirit behind the move to world ‘unity’, the fornicating union & their bloody Pax Romana & faithless, no-truth ‘love’ that isn’t love at all, but which deceives many to remain upon the broad way to destruction because of ‘all the good that it does’ & because the public face of it is so ‘nice’. Thank you for ripping away the veil & exposing these things. I know that it’s taxing & vexing to do so, and there is so much of it once you begin digging in the walls. Praying for you. Thank you also for the positive preparation pieces of application. Do not forget to go apart from time to time as Jesus ensampled for us: to the good pasture & Shepherd, proper food for the sheep & the Sun of righteousness that has healing in its wings, the living water that restoreth our souls. Needing prayer & this same reminder myself from time to time. The count of vaccine damaged folks in our family is also ramping up : – (. Funny how the ‘black sheep’ have tended to come around, get saved & beware of that thing….while the ‘dutiful’ and the ‘good’, the ‘successful’ and the social justice foot-soldiers are falling for it to their double loss. So needless, & so wicked, & such a burden of mourning the living dead even beware-ing of them & their dangerous self-righteousness & ‘helps’ & misplaced ‘confessions’.
