Thirty seconds between the photo and the wall

A kiss-cam incident at a concert went around the world last year. What became of it for the people involved isn't ours to comment on.
But the episode demonstrated one thing unambiguously: when an image appears on a big screen, everybody looks.
That's exactly the mechanism we put to work at an event — in a version that harms nobody.
What the live slideshow does
Your guests use the photobooth as usual. Then, a few seconds later, their photo appears on a screen or a wall in the room, in a slideshow that runs all evening.
Thirty seconds between the pose and the wall. No more than that.
It's possible because our booths carry a 5G connection. Without a connection on board there is no live slideshow — the images stay in the machine.
Why it changes the atmosphere, concretely
It creates a reason to look. Every event room has an empty wall. Filled with your guests' faces, it becomes the natural gathering point of the evening.
It makes people want a turn. They see colleagues on screen and want to be there too. That's a queue that builds without anyone inviting it.
It mixes the tables. A photo of the finance team projected large starts conversations that wouldn't otherwise have happened.
And it comes back around. The slideshow loops. A good photo gets seen three or four times over the evening, by a different audience each time.
What you need
A screen or a projector. That's all, and it's yours to provide — most venues have one, and otherwise hire is modest.
From us: the connection, the streaming, the layout. The slideshow is included at no extra cost in our packages.
One detail that matters: you decide. Some events want the wall of images; others prefer photos stay private. The slideshow is switched on or off as you choose — and a guest can always take their photo without it being projected.
Where to put it
Two classic mistakes.
Too far from the action. A screen in a corridor doesn't get looked at. Too close to the dance floor. After 23:00 nobody looks up.
The best spot is beside the bar, or facing the tables during dinner. Send us the floor plan and we'll tell you where it will work.
