Paramount+, the global streaming service from Paramount Global, announced a multi-market partnership with DBLTAP parent company Minute Media, Wavemaker and Kaleida bringing to life a 60 foot tall 3D hologram of Halo's iconic character, Master Chief.
The hologram of Master Chief, also known as Spartan 117, was installed in Australia, Latin America and Canada. The fan-favorite character from Microsoft's popular first-person shooter franchise and the new Halo series on Paramount+, was live for one day on April 17 in Toronto, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Sydney Harbor.
According to the press release, "The record-breaking hologram, dubbed the âHALOgramâ, scaled the equivalent height of a six-story building and featured a custom 3D animation that saw the Master Chief land on Earth and assess the local surroundings. Each installation weighed over 24 tons and was built using over 100m of metal trussing to house 126 square meters of specialist hologram gauze."
