On Mashable, I saw an article about a new ipad/iphone app that let’s you create a mobile phone booth. (You can read the full Mashable article here.)
The gist of the app is that it allows you to use your ipad, iphone to take a photo that’s transformed into a photo booth looking layout. You can then apply different filters, share the results electronically or order prints.
Prints are done on glossy stock, cost US$2.99 and take 3-5 days to arrive. (I’m assuming this is US focused for the time being.)
The company’s blog post introducting PopBooth explains that the service was born with weddings in mind!
Why PopBooth
PopBooth was conceived when our co-founder Bryan was preparing for his wedding. Photo booths are really fun, but they are mad expensive. With the iPad2‘s new front facing camera we realized we could turn an iPad into a photo booth. Something fun at events and at home with friends and family.
Party Mode
Speaking of events – PopBooth for the iPad2 is made for parties. Check out the settings tab. Turn on party mode and pass the iPad around at your next event. After your party-goers create their photo strips they simply enter their email address. We’ll take care of getting their mailing address later. As soon as we get their address, we’ll mail them a PopBooth. A great memory from weddings, conferences, family reunions and birthdays.
I’m thinking this is pretty cool! A box of props, some sort of animal print duct tape harness tethering my phone or pad to the table….I can already see it. (Though I’m an ever-enthusiastic technology geek.)
