A proto hologram offered a one-on-one experience with Yogi Sadhguru at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore as part of one of the biggiest spiritual festivals in the world.
Hundreds of thousands of people attended the Isha Foundation’s Mahashivratri event in Coimbatore, offering a one-on-one experience speaking with an AI avatar of the Yogi, Sadhguru, via a Proto hologram.
The experience was available in multiple languages and marked the first time that a spiritual leader has used Proto technology to build a connection to mediation and Yoga practices.
Hundreds of thousands of attendees came from over 100 countries, with approximately 140 million remote participants via streaming.
Attendees received answers to their questions, keeping with Sadhguru’s teachings and Yoga practices, and were able to have Sadhguru’s avatar take a selfie and download the photos via Proto’s selfie feature.
Henry Asplin, representative, Isha Foundation, commented: "Our hope is that through this, we see more people taking up the simple, evidence-based Yoga and meditation practices that Sadhguru is offering.
"Mahashivratri is one of the largest multi-cultural events on the planet, and for us this is a way to connect further with this global audience, and offer them a unique experience - in their own language.”
