Overview

Basically a photobooth just like at the mall, but with a maker's charm.

Features

• Initially shows video of the individuals in the booth to let them position accordingly.
• Large button to hit when you're ready.
  • Has to be durable.
• Countdown video before the computer driving it snaps the photo.
• Takes between four and six pictures with a three second timer between pictures.
• Automatically uploads the pictures online for everyone to see.
  • Possibly without the users knowing. More fun that way ;).
• Must use as little power as possible to obtain it's function.
  • Solid state storage only.
  • Fanless if possible.
  • Wifi on demand(ie. not always connected).
• Remote administration is a must.

Other options

• Autodetection and mounting of thumbdrives so the booth can load the pictures onto it.
• Cheap print of the pictures.
  • Not sure how to accomplish this yet.
• Making the whole thing modular so it can be taken down and setup other places rather easily.
• GPS enabled and automatic geotagging of photos.

Progress
