🏡 Home is where the Beam is:
I love this. If you have kids or a loved one deployed on duty, grab a tissue. Google and the USO are bringing Google Beam booths to 20 locations worldwide, making family members appear life-size in 3D, with eye contact and no headset. A pilot connected Fort Bliss, Texas, with troops in Poland, where one soldier saw how much his newborn daughter had grown. You can’t hug through a screen, but for a few minutes, that empty chair might feel a little less empty.
