Yes, we've all seen it. Honestly can we just discuss the tech for once instead of making the same comment 30 times on every Google thread?
This sort of video streaming is reminiscent of the "tele-human" teleconferencing in Silicon Valley [1]. Hopefully it works better. It would be timed well as so many companies are looking at working from home right now. Though as with anything with "Project" in the name, I wouldn't expect any actual product for at least five years, and probably more.
Salesforce makes sense as a partner. They have multiple global offices and could stress test things beyond internal dogfooding.

- fsociety 4y agoI’m not sure tech for tech’s sake is a good value proposition. If they were to kill this off in the year what impact did it have on the world?
- SquareWheel 4y agoLikely very little. But wouldn't that be true of any technology? That doesn't seem like a good metric for determining how much potential impact a technology actually has. I do agree about technology for technology's sake, but even in cases where the application is wrong, technologies are often repurposed. Viagra was created to treat heart disease.
- cavisne 4y agoFor the tech to succeed they need to sell to enterprises, scale manufacturing, and be making the right bet on the future of work In my opinion google has the wrong instincts on all 3. This is not really a tool for hybrid work (it’s too expensive to deploy in homes) it’s a tool for communicating between offices. Google is betting on everyone being back in the office at some point.
