Is it a good time for organizations to invest in 3D collaboration technology for meetings?
HP and Google have expanded the availability of their HP Dimension 3D communication system to six nations including the US and UK. The technology integrates with common collaboration tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams to improve meeting engagement.
Why it matters
The system aims to replicate in-person cues by preserving eye contact and nonverbal behavior that often degrade during traditional video calls. For operators, this represents a potential shift in how remote collaboration tools are evaluated for high-stakes team meetings.
Google research observed 14% more time spent making eye contact during 3D calls compared to 2D benchmarks. The system is currently supported by 18 partner companies across the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan.
The players
HP
A multinational technology company specializing in hardware, printing, and enterprise computing solutions.
A global technology leader providing search, cloud computing, and enterprise collaboration software suites.
Industrious
A premium flexible workspace provider managing office locations for enterprise and small-business tenants.
Netflix
A global media and entertainment company operating large-scale distributed production teams.
Capital Group
A large-scale investment management firm with a global footprint and significant operational coordination needs.
The details
The HP Dimension system uses a 3D light-field display, spatial audio, and an array of six cameras to render images of participants. AI processes these multi-angle camera feeds into a cohesive 3D projection that integrates with existing software such as Google Meet, Webex, and Zoom Rooms. This allows organizations to deploy the technology without replacing their current video conferencing infrastructure.
Timeline
HP and Google announced the expanded system availability on September 23, 2026.
System booking at selected Industrious locations begins in October 2026.
Market Landscape
The HP Dimension 3D communication system provides a technical alternative to the standard 2D video conferencing interfaces that have dominated the professional remote work landscape since 2020. This rollout signals an attempt to overcome long-standing engagement fatigue common in high-frequency video environments.
Operators managing distributed teams should monitor whether increased nonverbal fidelity correlates with higher productivity in their specific workflows. Before committing to hardware-heavy solutions, evaluate the current integration depth of these 3D systems with your existing communication stack.
The takeaway
Advanced 3D imaging may soon replace conventional video to solve for the loss of nonverbal communication in digital settings. Leaders should track pilot results from peer companies like Netflix to determine if the hardware investment justifies the gains in meeting engagement and information recall.
What happens next
System bookings for testing will open to the public at select Industrious locations in October 2026.
