Proto Inc. has been granted U.S. Design Patent No. D1,134,257 S by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for the company’s Proto M hologram display. The patent lists Proto founder David Nussbaum alongside co-inventors Doug Barry, Edward Ginis, and Raphael Kryszek, and was filed February 22, 2023.
The Proto M shrinks down larger devices like the Proto Epic display to a tabletop form factor, allowing people to communicate between large distances while maintaining the “feel” of speaking face to face.
“This patent recognizes the original design work behind Proto M,” said Raphael Kryszek, chief product and AI officer at Proto. “We created it to make holographic communication and AI spatial computing more accessible, bringing the presence and connection of our full-size systems into a compact format that fits naturally into more spaces. That vision continues with M2, and as the category grows, protecting the innovations that helped define it matters more than ever.”
