Holos is the 3D Data Foundry for robotics. Proto points it at the greenhouse — expert growers wearing Apple Vision Pro capture every prune, taste, and decision, then a 24/7 robotic gardener grows the plants and produce your biomarkers actually call for.
Holos converts real human work into structured, robot-ready 3D task data — spatial video, depth, body pose, 52-joint dexterous hand tracking, tracked objects, world coordinates. The human data layer for NVIDIA-powered Physical AI.
Proto's bet: the most personal workflow on Earth is the one that grows the plants on your plate. Capture the master grower in Vision Pro, organize the skills, and let the greenhouse run them — every hour, every plant, every person.
“Capture once. Transfer across robot platforms.”
Tyler Waite (Holos CTO & COO) demonstrates Capture on Apple Vision Pro — the exact pipeline Proto is pointing at the greenhouse.
The Holos workflow, pointed at the world's most personal supply chain.
SOPs, grow recipes, cultivar libraries, enterprise 3D assets, and a decade of Plant Vision phenotyping data flow in as the foundation.
Master growers wear Apple Vision Pro. Holos records spatial video, depth, body pose, and 52-joint hand tracking at 90 Hz — including occluded objects and full environment mesh.
Every capture lands in a searchable, version-controlled 3D process library — pruning, transplanting, harvesting, tasting — each skill annotated, diffable, replayable.
Structured datasets export into simulation and foundation models — NVIDIA Isaac, Cosmos, and beyond — turning grower expertise into training data robots can actually learn from.
A 24/7 robotic gardener executes the skills on real plants. New captures sharpen the library. Previous captures inform the next ones. The flywheel compounds.
Proto x Holos isn't theoretical infrastructure. The same data foundry behind this greenhouse is already operating inside the world's hardest robotics problems.

The master grower thins one tray. Holos records it — hand pose, plant geometry, the exact angle of the cut, the moment of decision. Then the same skill runs on ten thousand trays, every hour, indefinitely. The grower's hands, multiplied.
Skills become more robust as captures accumulate — previous captures inform, new captures improve. The flywheel that took NVIDIA's CEO and Skild AI's CEO to call out the robotics data bottleneck is the same one Holos was built to solve.
Proto founder Ryan Hooks has spent ten years on this exact problem — from a working hydroponic farm on Treasure Island to co-architecting Augmented Phenotyping with the world's top plant scientists. That work helped catalyse NPEC — the $30M Netherlands Plant Eco-phenotyping Centre, now operational. The Proto x Holos thesis isn't a slide. It's already running.
“Computer Vision has been utilized for Digital Phenotyping for decades. With modern GPUs and headsets, we finally have the power to understand plants via Augmented Reality.” — Plant Vision, 2018. The exact thesis Holos and Proto now run on Apple Vision Pro.
Ryan Hooks — Plant Vision founder, Proto founder, and Holos advisor — spent ten years on the world's hardest greenhouse problems. From a modular hydroponic farm on Treasure Island to thirty countries to co-architecting Augmented Phenotyping with the top plant scientists in the world.
That work helped catalyse NPEC — the Netherlands Plant Eco-phenotyping Centre at Wageningen & Utrecht — raising $2.4M of a $30M national infrastructure now growing thousands of plants under sensor-rich, sealed, climate-tuned conditions.
Your bloodwork and wearable data sketch a nutritional profile. The greenhouse picks the cultivars and grows the tray — micros, herbs, mushrooms, edible flowers — ready the morning you want them on the plate.
Most supplements are the ash of a plant. Holos hands you the living plant — leaves, roots, and the full set of phytochemicals that comes with growing it well — picked at peak the day you take it home.
Multispectral cultivation tunes flavor compounds the way a producer tunes a record. Your basil tastes like your basil — never anyone else's.
The same captured skills that grow your morning greens in Madison can grow them in low gravity. Holos is built for Earth first, and everywhere after.
We don't have a hundred years to breed our way out of this. Augmented Phenotyping compresses a decade of plant breeding into a season. The Holos foundry compresses a master grower's career into a library. The math finally bends in our favour.
We're opening a small waitlist of Proto members, growers, chefs, nutrition nerds, and partners. If any of that sounds like you, leave your email.
