The world’s first life-sized holographic communications solutions provider Proto Inc. recently declared its expansion into Australia and the establishment of its first permanent office in the continent.
TeleIn, a robotics startup, has reportedly started using Proto’s holoportation technology. People from all over the world can connect through Proto’s proprietary hologram communications technology.
The firm’s products are used in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, retail, education, marketing, sports, entertainment, and the arts.
Major brands around the world are already utilising Proto’s 7′ tall “Proto Epic” and tabletop sized “Proto M” solutions. One such brand is KIA, which used the company’s technology at the Australian Open last year to enable guests to interact with holographic versions of tennis players Nick Kyrgios and Dylan Alcott.
Teleln Managing Director Benjamin Farkas said he’s thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Proto’s cutting-edge holoportation technology to Australia.
“This is an exciting extension to our existing telepresence technology lineup and complements organizations looking for a ‘whole of solution’ approach to new ways of communication,” said Farkas.

Farkas added that he sees massive potential across many industries, including education, corporate and healthcare.
“This technology can connect students with educators from different locations in the education sector, allowing schools to provide on-demand expertise for niche subjects, especially during our current teacher skills shortage.
“The applications are beneficial for regional and remote schools where access to education talent is limited.”
According to Proto, negotiations about pilot programmes have already started in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. These programmes will test and assess the technology and solicit feedback for further improvement.
Proto Hologram Inventor and CEO David Nussbaum said, “Australians know better than most how geography affects you. So who better to lead the way into a future where we can be wherever we need to be, and want to be, without an 18 hour flight?
“I’m excited to see what Benjamin, with his track record in advancing robotics, will do with our holoportation technology.”
