What Is Project Starline? How This Magic Glass Brings Hyper Realistic Calls

Project Starline. Sounds futuristic and like it would be out of something like Star Trek, right? Well its not out of Star Trek but it is something futuristic and frankly magic. With this device, video conferencing has taken a giant leap into a new world. Making general video conferencing something of the past. Google have been know to push limits with their technology, thinking and researching ways to bring something new and exciting into the technology world.  Covid has pushed and pulled people away from each other, family members not seeing each other in months. Some cases years. Project Starline is a telepresence system to bring people together, in the most realistic form possible. Now we've heard of telepresence before within the business world. A group of screens able to bring companies together from around the world and make each member of the meeting feel like they are all the same room. But Starline pushes the limit. Project Starline has already been introduced into Google offices around the United States Of America. With those employees using and enjoying the 3D imagining device to hold interviews, meet new colleagues and hold meetings.    Breakdown Of Project Starline If you break Project Starline down in to very simple terms, it is basically a 3D video conferencing platform. Making you feel that you are in the same room as the person you are talking to over Starline. To make it feel as immersed as it is, Starline is created within its own sort of cubby hole. Giving you a dedicated seat and background with the 'magic glass' in front of you with a table. Allowing the users to feel as though they are in the same room. This is miles apart from other telepresence system, Google really upgrading the game. Alongside the look of Starline, the system if filled with cameras, microphones, sensors and tracking devices to present you in the hyper realistic way. Bringing those from across the world right into your office which a much more realistic and natural feel. Then if you were to use immersive headsets. A more natural feel as you wont need to be wearing a chunky headset, microphones or any controllers for your movement. Simply sit down and whoever you are meeting with will appear in front of you.  Even though Google advertise the Starline as a great way for you to meet with friends and family, which it probably is. The Starline will most likely be used within corporate businesses. Bringing the most realistic one-on-one meetings when you might be thousands of miles apart. Technical  To follow you movement smoothly, Starline comes with face tracking with the focus of motion parallax and stereopsis. Now a quick breakdown of these two things, motion parallax refers to objects moving at a constant speed and stereopsis refers to depth perception. With these two terms in mind, Google has used the four face tracking cameras on the Starline to not only track your face but to render your face in almost perfect form. Whether you tend to move around a lot in meetings, with non verbal cues such as head nodding, the face tracking cameras will take motion parallax and stereopsis into mind. Following you head movements smoothly. No matter if you are up-close to the camera or as far away as you can get. [wb_vc_before_after_image_comparison before_image="32119" after_image="32118" image_size="medium_large" wbvcbaic_orientation="" wbvcbaic_default_offset="" wbvcbaic_before_text="" wbvcbaic_after_text="" wbvcbaic_click_to_move="" wbvcbaic_move_on_hover=""] Again, if are one of those people that move around during meetings, the audio pickup is important. If your appearance is rendered to almost perfect form, you voice needs to be at the same level and match up. Including four microphone array, the face tracking cameras aid beamforming to help the microphone pickup where your voice is coming from. Localising your voice. The microphones following the direction of your voice and outputting the sound to your participant from the right direction. Creating spatial audio.  Going back to the cameras, the 65" display will bring your colleague, interviewee, business partner to life. The 3D camera pod captures 120fps, focusing on the location of your eyes, mouth and ears. Estimating their location within around 5mm. Not exact, but obviously very close that your rendered self will pretty much look identical to your true self. Now with this in mind not everything is perfect, Google are open with the fact that some render images have limits. However, they aren't big enough where Starline looses its charm. The stereo system can only capture so much, for example if there are a few frizzy bits of hair. The stereo system wont be able to capture them as they are too thin. But even then, if you have a bad hair day the Starline wont be able to pick it up.  Camera Pods To create your 3D form perfectly, the Starline includes 3 camera pods. These pods contain two infrared and one colour camera. The infrared camera focuses on creating the perfect 3D form, calculating your to make the right silhouette. This is done by the infrared backlight, this stops any noisy background data and then creates the right silhouette. Alongside this, the upper left depth stream, upper right depth stream and the lower centre depth stream will all capture separate parts of you. Then to bring the the final silhouette all together, the cameras will fuse together. Connecting together like a puzzle. Plus, the bottom camera includes an extra colour camera that focuses on your face. Zoomed in on your face for better resolution. Just like the depth streams, once the silhouette is found the colour cameras will all fuse and blend together seamlessly. Who Likes The Starline? Project Starline has been in the making for a few years. With Google finally coming to a final product, but as we said Google has deployed Project Starline throughout their offices in America. Many employees of Google have used Project Starline and loved the impact it had on their meeting. It has been recorded that users of Project Starline have

App To Tell If Office Workers Are Not Socially Distancing

Network Rail are using an app that alerts the user when a colleague is too close to them.With businesses under mounting pressure to demonstrate how they are making their workplaces socially-distanced and Covid-19-secure, technology startup Hack Partners has developed Mind The Gap social-distancing app.Mind The Gap has been designed and developed by London based start-up Hack Partners as an innovative way of keeping employees safe at work by reminding them to perform effective social distancing.The app does not require an internet connection to operate as it uses high frequency sound waves and Bluetooth to detect if users aare in close proximity to each other.Network Rail staff use the app widely and it has been widely heralded a success so is being rolled out to other companies in the group. “I am immensely proud of our entire workforce for the part they have played to keep the country running throughout the pandemic, As we start to plan for a return to office working, we’ve been looking at absolutely everything to make sure we can continue to keep our people safe.” Martin Frobisher, Network Rail safety, technical and engineering directorHow it works:Mind The Gap uses inaudible ultra high frequency sounds and Bluetooth to calculate the distance between mobile phones. The technology does not require an active internet connection, making it perfect for use in various environments, outdoors and indoors. It also has the option to customise thedistance that triggers the alert so it can be adapted for any change in Government guidelines.Haydon Bartlett-Tasker, COO of Hack Partners states:“We developed Mind The Gap initially to help railway staff maintain social distancing whilst at work. We quickly identified it could be opened up to other industries which – like the rail sector – face difficult challenges in safeguarding their employees that work across a variety of environments. With the economy reopening, businesses are under immense pressure to trade safely in this ‘new normal’.”We like this idea and is an interesting option to integrate into your workplace.
