We patented this in 1998.
We’ve been shipping it ever since.
Picture Marketing invented the internet photo booth: capture a photo, build a page around it, and give the participant a personal link. Since then, we’ve built the tools to run that experience across stores, stadiums, tours and attractions.

Programs across locations
The same idea at enterprise scale: fleets of devices across hundreds of locations, centrally controlled and independently measured.

The hard part is the rollout
Plan for the devices, local teams, approvals and deadlines needed to run the idea.
