Proto, an innovative holographic communication technology, is revolutionizing how people interact remotely by making them feel as though they are in the same room with the person or object being projected. Founded in 2018 by David Nussbaum, Proto Inc. combines state-of-the-art holographic tech with a user-friendly platform, allowing life-sized, real-time communication across vast distances.
Proto’s flagship product, the Proto Epic, is a seven-foot-tall box that projects life-like holograms, creating an immersive communication experience. Unlike typical video calls, Proto’s technology provides the sense of being physically present, whether in boardrooms, hospitals, or events. Its sophisticated LED lighting and AI-powered cameras add to the realism, enabling natural interactions. Users can speak, listen, and see the projected person as though they are standing in the same space.
One standout application has been in healthcare, where doctors can “beam” themselves into clinics to consult with patients in rural areas. This approach has bridged the gap between urban specialists and underserved communities, significantly improving access to healthcare without the need for travel. In one instance, the West Cancer Center used Proto to connect remote patients with specialized doctors, enhancing patient care and saving travel time(New Atlas) (Proto).
In addition to healthcare, Proto has made waves in entertainment, with musicians like Walker Hayes performing at multiple locations simultaneously using holograms. Businesses have adopted Proto for product launches, conferences, and even NFT showcases, highlighting the platform’s versatility across industries(Hyperallergic).
Proto M Brings Holograms into Homes
For smaller, more personal applications, Proto introduced the Proto M, a tabletop version designed for homes. Retailing at a lower price, this version enables users to beam themselves into homes, making it perfect for personal communication, family interactions, and small businesses.
A New Era for Communication
Proto’s technology exemplifies the future of communication, merging the virtual and physical worlds in real time, bringing people closer regardless of where they are in the world.
Proto’s Epic and M products are reshaping how industries interact, offering new opportunities for both professional and personal connections.
