Unless you’ve been living under a rock or you don’t have Instagram, you would have seen these 360 photo booth cameras popping up everywhere. Now, unlike traditional photo booths that capture snapshots from a fixed angle (boring…), a 360 photo booth offers an immersive experience allowing participants to be at the centre of attention in a dynamic, interactive way. That’s what the fuss is all about! But we thought we’d create an article to answer the most common question: How does a 360 photo booth work?
The Most Important: Capturing the Entire Scene
We’d like to think we know a thing or two about these booths, and our own 360 video booths are designed to navigate the event space with its cameras continuously recording video from all angles, ensuring that every moment is captured in its entirety. All our booths are equipped with a ring light and a 360 camera to give you that glam effect. Whether it’s a bustling corporate Christmas party, a lively wedding in the heart of Sydney, or a scenic outdoor setting, the booth effortlessly captures the essence of the environment in stunning detail.
Here’s a little snippet of how it works:
Real-Time Rendering
One of the most impressive features of a 360 photo booth is its ability to provide instant feedback to participants. As soon as the video is captured and stitched together, they are rendered in real-time, allowing users to preview their 360-degree masterpiece within seconds. This real-time rendering adds an element of excitement and engagement, as participants can immediately see the results of their creativity and get it live on Instagram that day!
Interactive Enhancements
To further enhance the experience, many 360 photo booths come equipped with interactive features such as slow motion, boomerang effects, and fully customisable overlays, not just simple filters. These overlays offer extensive customisation options that can be fully branded for corporate events or personalised for private occasions such as weddings and birthdays. These enhancements allow users to personalise their photos or videos with virtual props, backgrounds, and animations, adding an extra layer of fun and creativity to the experience.
It didn’t happen unless it was posted to Instagram!
Once participants are satisfied with their creations, they can easily share them with friends and family through various social media platforms, directly from the booth. Additionally, some 360 photo booths offer integration with event-specific hashtags or branding, allowing organisers to extend the reach of their event across social networks.
Applications and Use Cases
Due to the versatility of 360 photo booths, they are suitable for a wide range of events and occasions. We’re based in Sydney and personally deal with weddings, corporate parties, product launches, and everything in between. These interactive installations have become such a popular attraction, namely providing entertainment and engagement for guests while also serving as a unique marketing tool for brands.
