A Branded Event Experience That Captures Leads While It Entertains

Traditional photo booths cost $3-5K to rent and leave you with prints in a trash can. Ours puts attendees inside a movie scene, costs a fraction to run, and walks away with qualified emails.

Every event wants a memorable touchpoint. Most "solutions" are clunky.

A tablet, a camera, a QR code on the way out.

Live at photo-booth.akasilabs.com. Attendee takes a selfie. AI face-swaps them into the full scene with the character's wardrobe and lighting. QR code sends the image straight to their phone.

Six capabilities, one tablet.

01

12 Immersive Scenes

Star Wars, The Matrix, Black Panther, James Bond, and more. Full-scene generation, not a green-screen cutout.

02

Lead-Capture or Party Mode

Toggle per event. Lead mode collects name + email to a gallery. Party mode skips straight to a QR code.

03

Instant Sharing

QR goes to a mobile gallery. Web Share API sends to AirDrop or Messages. Zero "where's my photo?" emails the next day.

04

Kiosk-Hardened

Auto-reset, wake-lock, Wi-Fi resilience, iOS camera recovery. Set it up and walk away.

05

Custom Scenes on Request

Drop a brand into a scene specific to their event. A car in a Fast & Furious scene. A dentist's logo in a superhero poster.

06

Zero Infrastructure Cost

Runs on Cloudflare free tier. MindStudio API handles face-swap through FLUX.2. No monthly SaaS bill.

Any brand that owns the moment when someone walks up.

Two to five minutes at a photo booth is expensive real estate.

Every lead captured is opt-in: the attendee gave their email to get their photo. Every photo shared on social tags the brand organically — no paid amplification needed.

The AI makes the experience feel premium and specific to this event, not the same green-screen booth that's been rotating conferences for a decade.

Translation: it doesn't fall over when the conference Wi-Fi does. Production-hardened with error-boundary recovery, binary upload resilience, job-recovery polling, iOS-specific camera handling, and a proxy download endpoint for mobile Safari.
