The only reason the cameras would need to be synced is if it's an in-camera effect.

I agree. I don't think she was projected 3D into the studio. He might have had a simple line monitor in the distance to view when he looked in her supposed direction (like the weatherperson looks at when green-screened and pointing at the map that isn't there) to fake the interaction.
I'm sure the only 3D was the original Yellin, her mathematical model inside some computer, and the impression in the viewers' minds who viewed the 2D projection.
I'd wager her 3D presence was as much a presence as the yellow computer-generated first-down marker line projected onto American football fields during the game (or similar for other sports, like on-field ads), none. They use the same sort of camera-motion tracking as Yellin described.
