NBC and Rodgers Broadcasting Bring Immersive Fan Experience to Both AGT & CGT

At the 2025 America’s Got Talent event in NYC, Proto partnered with NBC to introduce its patented Celebrity Selfie Experience. This innovative feature allowed attendees to take real-time selfies with life-sized holograms of Sofia Vergara, Terry Crews, and Howie Mandel. Unlike traditional selfies taken with personal phones, these images are seemingly captured from the celebrities’ own devices and fans have the opportunity to scan a QR code to grab their selfie and have as a keepsake. In partnership with Rodgers Broadcasting, we also did a surprise beam of Simon Cowell into the Canada’s Got Talent Season Finale. This groundbreaking approach to fan interaction enhances celebrity access and connection across both AGT and CGT stages.
