User Experience: Step up to the Galeon-themed photobooth. Snap individual shots with playful filters. Walk away with printed keepsakes.
Optional Value Add: Pick a custom background, and the system auto-generates a group photo—each face seamlessly placed into the scene. They may opt to send the digital copies to their emails so they can share their photos to social media.
Success Metrics:
Visitors can easily try on fun virtual props and take souvenir photos using the tablet’s camera. Photos can be printed or instantly shared to social media, adding to the excitement and reach of the experience. New filters and props can be updated remotely, keeping the booth fresh and relevant without on-site changes. Families or groups can create personalized group photos with themed backgrounds, making the experience more memorable. The booth resets automatically after each session, keeping things smooth, private, and ready for the next visitors
Social Sharing Notes
We have two options:
If we need to reduce development time, for the base estimate, we can choose the option that the hardware of the screen is meant to be photographed - so that users will take a picture of the screen more easily, and share it to social media themselves. However, what we recommend is that we’ll generate a picture QR code so people can scan that QR and download their images and share it themselves. For security, this link has to expire after a period of time. We can also track the clicks on this link Copy of Project 4 - Base 2D Photo Booth Experience Estimate
