Photo booths are capable of rocking a party to the brim of craziness. It’s a source of pure entertainment. But do you want a little bit more? A little bit of extra craziness doesn’t hurt especially when the occasion calls for it. How about going for a completely customizable and interactive mirror photo booth? If you go and hire one, you can actually get that extra bit of craziness in your party. So should you get one? We’ll see to that later but before we would like to discuss what a mirror booth actually is.
What’s a mirror booth?
Also known as the magic mirror booth because the effect it has on guests is nothing less than a magic.
A mirror booth is a pretty novel idea where the guests are invited to strike their best pose in front of something, that seemingly looks like a full-length mirror. And soon afterwards, the magic begins.
The mirror comes to life on its own, all thanks to advanced touchscreen technology. Guests will be presented with customized messages before the countdown to the snap begins. After the completion of the photo shoot, a magic mirror booth invites the guests to sign their names on the snapshot. Soon afterwards, the snap becomes ready for download and can be shared across various social media platforms in a jiffy.
Why’s a mirror booth a unique concept?
A magic mirror booth comes with a number of avant-garde features. These are:
- Detecting gestures
This is another unique feature that comes with many magic mirrors. The common ones provide users with touchscreen controls which, on its own is a brilliant feature in event photography but some go beyond the level of brilliant with additional features such as gesture detection.
Example: The booth will start automatically with the movement of an arm.
- Noise activation
This is another novel and unique feature of the magic mirror photo booth. The booth will activate on basis of sound like when the guests scream “capture” or when they clap their hands.
- Animations
Some magic mirror photo booths provide an animation-like feature on photographs where you will be able to add animated messages on your photographs to make it more personal.
- Sharing photographs on social media
Adding a mobile device like an iPad or an Android phone, it’s possible to share such images on social platform in the blink of an eye. It’s easier, faster and obviously more fun.
