Universal Hardware Engine for Spatial + Traditional 2D Screens & AI Experiences
For the massive installed base of standard 2D screens, kiosks, video walls, and TVs in retail and enterprise —The ProtoPlayer offers an instant, transformative upgrade. By connecting via HDMI, it converts “dumb” passive displays into “Agentic AI” interfaces.
From Loop to Logic: Unlike competitors that rely on static playlists, The ProtoPlayer uses a “Bring Your Own” peripheral model (webcams/mics) to enable a Perception Engine. A screen can now detect a customer’s presence and initiate a conversation — for example, asking a shopper looking at a shoe, “Do you have questions about the fit?” It can also switch between AI/live communication and applications
Scalable “Digital Fleets”: This allows businesses to deploy intelligent, reactive avatars across entire retail chains or corporate campuses without replacing existing screens, unlocking the 99% of the market previously priced out of premium holographic hardware.
Connects to any HDMI-enabled display to deliver the full ProtoOS experience, including conversational AI avatars and interactive applications.
Built for hybrid compute, the device handles local logic while managing heavy AI rendering via the cloud or a tethered “Sidecar” GPU for high-density, private on-premise requirements.
Features a ruggedized thermal casing, VESA mount compatibility, and robust connectivity including Wi-Fi 6E and Dual Ethernet.
Powering the Spatial Web & Future Hardware
As the “Infrastructure Layer for Embodied AI”, The ProtoPlayer is also engineered to drive the next wave of spatial displays. Its flexible “Sidecar” architecture allows it to tether to high-performance GPU nodes, making it capable of rendering complex volumetric content for high-density 3D displays and headsets.
Bridge to the Future: By standardizing the compute and OS layer, The ProtoPlayer ensures that the interactive, conversational AI developed for today’s 2D screens is future-proofed for tomorrow’s holographic and spatial devices.
Unified Ecosystem: Brands can manage a single “Digital Fleet” that spans simple lobby directory screens and immersive 3D product showcases, all powered by the same secure, enterprise-grade appliance.

The ProtoPlayer is our standalone, industrial-grade edge computing appliance that runs ProtoOS. It connects to any existing 2D display (TVs, kiosks, video walls) via HDMI, instantly upgrading them into intelligent, perception-aware AI interfaces.
This universal “brain” is capable of powering everything from the millions of traditional 2D screens already in the market to the emerging generation of spatial and 3D displays for AI experiences.
The compact, ruggedized unit is designed to be display-agnostic, solving critical challenges for both legacy digital signage and the burgeoning spatial computing landscape.
Deploy ProtoOS powered “Digital Fleets” into retail chains, hospitals, and corporate campuses at scale. The ProtoPlayer is an edge-orchestrator that transforms legacy displays into “Human Presence” terminals.
