Google will soon begin field testing Project Starline video chat booths

Of course, the question is whether the early access program will result in installations at your workplace’s boardroom or the local store. While Google has not specified the price of a Project Starline booth, the technology is inherently expensive and takes up a lot of space. Smaller businesses may struggle to justify this when off-the-shelf computers may suffice. The timing is also not ideal. While remote and hybrid work has grown in popularity, Starline is on the rise as more people return to in-person interaction. The audience for the technology isn’t nearly as large as it might have been a year ago, and we don’t expect it to grow any time soon.
