AI Photobooth
A full-stack AI photobooth built as a web app for experiential activations - pop-ups, museums, brand events, and public installations. Users walk up to an iPad on a stand, tap to capture, and walk away with an AI-generated portrait that preserves their identity and likeness while placing them in entirely new worlds. No app download. No data used for training. Every part of the ecosystem - capture, generation, display, and distribution - is owned and operated in-house.
The Experience
Walk Up
An iPad on a stand runs the web app. No sign-up, no download. The screen invites users to tap and begin.
Capture
User taps to take a photo. A 3-second countdown appears on screen followed by a flash. Photo is captured instantly.
Preview
User sees a preview of their captured photo and confirms to proceed to AI generation.
Generate
The AI transforms their photo in ~15 seconds. Contextual loading text keeps users engaged - explaining what's happening in real-time so the wait feels like part of the experience.
Take Home
The final AI-generated image lands on a branded page with a QR code. Users scan to download, share, or revisit - all while still at the booth. The QR page doubles as a marketing touchpoint.
How It Works
Identity Preservation
The AI is fine-tuned to retain the user's identity and likeness - facial features, skin tone, expression - while placing them in completely different environments, art styles, and scenarios. No user data is stored or used for model training. The likeness lock works in a single pass with no pre-training required.
Infinite Scenarios
Place users courtside at the Super Bowl, inside a cartoon world, on stage at a concert, or next to a celebrity. Each preset is a prompt configuration that defines the scene, style, and compositing rules. New scenarios can be spun up for any brand, event, or theme - the system is endlessly extensible.
Owned Ecosystem
Every touchpoint is built and controlled in-house: the capture app, the AI pipeline, the generation display, the QR-code landing page, and the distribution flow. Full control over branding, user experience, data privacy, and monetization - no third-party photobooth vendor in the loop.
Built for Activations
Designed for high-traffic experiential environments - pop-up events, museum installations, brand activations, festivals, and retail spaces. The iPad-on-stand setup is portable and requires only a WiFi connection. The web app handles the rest.
Generated Outputs
Use Cases
Brand Pop-Ups
Deploy at product launches, store openings, or sponsored events. Custom-branded presets put users into your brand's world and give them a shareable takeaway.
Museums & Exhibitions
Interactive installation where visitors become part of the exhibit. Place guests inside famous paintings, historical moments, or imagined futures.
Festivals & Live Events
High-throughput booth for concerts, food festivals, and cultural events. The QR landing page doubles as a marketing touchpoint long after the event ends.
