Is it a good time for organizations to invest in 3D collaboration technology for meetings?
HP and Google have expanded the availability of the HP Dimension 3D communication system to the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. The system utilizes light-field displays and spatial audio to replicate nonverbal cues and eye contact often lost in traditional video calls.
Why it matters
The technology aims to solve the limitations of flat 2D video conferencing by using AI and cameras to simulate in-person presence. By facilitating better nonverbal communication, companies hope to increase engagement and information retention during remote collaboration.
Google research found participants in 3D meetings recalled 28% more information and spent 14% more time looking at faces compared to 2D calls. More than 87% of pilot participants rated these 3D interactions higher than standard video conferencing.
The players
HP
This technology company is a major manufacturer of personal computers and printing hardware that has recently pivoted toward advanced enterprise communication solutions.
This multinational technology corporation provides the software infrastructure and cloud services that power major enterprise collaboration tools like Google Meet.
Industrious
This premium workspace provider operates a national network of flexible office locations that will host physical testing sites for the 3D system.
Netflix
This global entertainment company is one of the corporate entities currently testing the HP Dimension technology to improve its remote meeting capabilities.
Capital Group
This investment management firm is among the organizations actively using or evaluating the new 3D telepresence technology for business operations.
The details
The HP Dimension system integrates with existing platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex to simplify deployment. Using six cameras and AI, the system creates 3D images that allow users to maintain natural eye contact and observe behavioral cues during remote meetings.
Timeline
HP and Google announced the expanded availability on September 23, 2026.
System booking becomes available at selected Industrious locations in October 2026.
Market Landscape
This move reflects a broader industry shift toward specialized hardware that attempts to overcome the limitations of the Cisco TelePresence immersive suite style of conferencing. By integrating with widely used software platforms, HP and Google are positioning this technology as a scalable alternative to legacy immersive systems.
Employees at companies utilizing the system may see a shift in meeting culture, with reduced video fatigue and improved ability to read nonverbal cues. For those near major business hubs, access to these systems through flexible office partners like Industrious provides a way to experience the technology before widespread enterprise rollout.
The takeaway
The transition from standard 2D webcams to 3D light-field technology represents a significant attempt to restore the nuance of in-person communication in a digital-first world. Businesses should track whether these gains in engagement translate into measurable improvements in long-term team collaboration and project outcomes.
What happens next
Booking for the HP Dimension system at Industrious locations is scheduled to begin in October 2026.
