"We're trying to improve collaboration by making face-to-face communications much more affordable," Caesar Sengupta, vice president of product management at Google told Forbes.
"Most of our meeting rooms have videoconferencing systems in them now," Senguta told Forbes. "It's had a transforming impact on our culture. People can meet face to face. It's improved the openness of the culture. So now, it's kind of strange to just call someone up," Senguta told Forbes.
The box has a Chromebox computer equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor, a camera, a speaker with a microphone, a remote, and necessary software needed to use the technology correctly.

Technical assistance is slated for $250 annually for each room a business or company uses the product in.
