I almost didn’t come to the photo booth Expo 2024, but knowing that artificial intelligence also known as AI was going to be one of the hottest topics of the year and debuted by many software companies at the Expo. In order to stay one step ahead of the competition in my area, it’s a given that attending the photo Booth Expo always gives me an extra edge to be one of the first in my market to offer any given service. Last year in my opinion, it was Sketch Bots from Picture Mosaics and the various audio guestbook options that were the big story. This year was clearly about AI and glam bots.

At the expo this year, I had the chances to test out the offerings from Curator, Snappic, Touchpix and LA Photo Party. All of the software that I tested at the show did a fantastic job of displaying their capabilities to date regarding AI, whether it be face swap or generative AI.

In this video I had the opportunity to get a quick run through from David Miller of the AI offering from LA Photo Party. What impressed me the most was not only the likeness of my original image to the output but also the generative AI options that were available to give more customization. Additionally, the ability to have more than one person as part of the experience seemed to put LA photo party in a different category all by themselves.

We expect all software companies to adopt a similar multi face operation with their AI capabilities and improve as time goes on. This is going to be an exciting year to see what happens with the evolving landscape of AI and the photobooth industry.  There are definitely some kinks to work out on all platforms, but I have no doubt they will be perfected in no time!

Take a look at the video below and check out what LA Photo Party had to offer at this year’s Photo Booth Expo 2024. Showcasing the generative options from different images to process, altering hair color, choosing glasses and more.
