Mr Beast joins video as ‘hologram’ in Proto Epic display

Guy Campos of leading AV authority AV Interactive wrote about how Mr Beast gave instructions in a battle of the sexes survival challenge in the North Carolina wilderness from a Proto studio set up 8,500 miles away in a cave in New Zealand. The YouTube star, who has 314 million subscribers on the platform, gave instructions to participants in a men vs women wilderness survival challenge, despite being 8,500 miles away. Mr Beast was unable to join for day 50 of the challenge as he had in the meantime embarked on a seven-day stay at the bottom of a cave for a separate video. Proto’s head of global customer deployment and operations Noah Rothstein had to rappel more than 300 metres down into the cave to reach Mr Beast. He then set up a studio kit on an uneven, wet, slippery cave floor, to beam images of the YouTube star into the holographic display an ocean and a continent away.
