I am looking to create a DIY photo booth for a friends grad party. I have some ideas and a fair amount (if not all) of the required hardware and the main software package I would like to use.
I would like some ideas for any aspect of the idea you feel would make it better.
The Hardware parts I have:
Windows HTPC for processing
15 LCD for monitor
Nicer webcam for pictures
Printer capable of printing 4X6 sheet stacks
Wireless stuff for remote activation
The Booth parts
8 x 8 EZ-Up
Side Tarps
Light Wicker sofa
Plastic shelving unit for holding hardware
Flood lights
The Software:
Open Photo Booth
http://www.openphotobooth.com/
The software is free and in its infancy stages so I will need to do some creative tinkering if I want to get this working properly. It takes the pictures and drops them in a folder but has no auto-print capability so I will need to have a program watching that folder and set up to prints new files when they arrive (need help here)
Any cool ideas?
