At CES this year, a holographic digital Mario from Super Mario Brothers made an appearance with the help of the ProtoHologram technology by Proto. This system brings the character to life at the event with Target. The purpose of the digital demonstration was to showcase how AI technology could be seamlessly integrated into lifestyle spaces such as retail locations. This way, it opens up opportunities to function as AI assistants and more.
a Proto spokesperson shares with DesignTAXI that "The AI hologram animation briefly seen today is an unfinished proof of concept tested for a client to demonstrate technological capabilities and innovation. It is not intended for commercial release. AARP and Nintendo were not involved in the inadvertent showing today. The fact that so many gamers of the world have taken notice shows that they are the best fans in the world and we salute them."
