How the Selfie Pod Photo Booth Turns Guest Data into Powerful, Shareable AI Experiences

At events, exhibitions and conferences, collecting meaningful visitor data is only half the challenge. The real magic happens when that data is exchanged for something memorable, personal and instantly valuable.

With the Selfie Pod Photo Booth, data capture becomes part of the experience — not a form to fill in, but a creative interaction guests actively want to take part in.

Turning Data Capture into an Experience

The Selfie Pod can be configured to request specific data fields before an image is created, such as:

Name
Mobile number
Email address
Company name

Rather than asking for details “just because”, the system explains why the data is needed — to personalise the AI-generated image the guest is about to receive.

This opt-in approach increases engagement, improves data quality and delivers a far higher completion rate than traditional lead capture methods.

Example Use Case: AI Trading Cards at Events

One of the most popular and effective activations is the creation of AI Trading Cards.

Here’s how it works:

A guest steps up to the Selfie Pod
They enter their name, company, email and/or mobile number
Their photo is captured
AI transforms them into a sports star, superhero, brand ambassador or character

For example:

The guest becomes a soccer player
Their name appears on the shirt
Their company name appears as the sponsor
The final image is styled like a collectable trading card

The result is instantly:

Emailed to them
Texted to their mobile
Printed on-site (optional)

The guest walks away with something tangible, personalised and shareable — and the brand walks away with clean, permission-based data.

Instant Sharing = Extended Brand Reach

Because the image is delivered immediately by email or SMS, it doesn’t stop at the event.

Guests often:

Use the image as a social post
Share it with colleagues
Set it as a profile picture or avatar
Refer back to the email after the event

This creates ongoing brand visibility long after the exhibition doors have closed.

Conference & Exhibition Badge Generation (With a Twist)

The Selfie Pod can also be used to create AI-powered conference badges.

Instead of a standard headshot:

Guests receive an AI-styled portrait
The image reflects the event theme or industry
Their name and company are integrated into the design

This sparks conversation on the show floor and later back in the office, especially when the same image is emailed to them for use as:

Email avatars
LinkedIn profile images
Internal messaging platforms

It turns a simple badge into a talking point.

Why This Works Better Than Traditional Lead Capture

Traditional methods:

Paper forms
QR codes to landing pages
Scanners with no immediate value

The Selfie Pod approach:

Gives guests a reason to share their data
Creates a fair value exchange
Makes data capture fun, fast and memorable

Because the image is the reward, guests are far more willing to engage — and they remember who gave it to them.

Fully Brandable, Fully Compliant

Every part of the experience can be branded:

Trading card designs
Backgrounds
Logos and colour schemes
Email and SMS delivery templates

Data is captured transparently and responsibly, making the system suitable for corporate events, exhibitions and conferences where professionalism and compliance matter.

Ideal For:

Exhibitions & trade shows
Conferences & summits
Brand activations
Corporate events
Sports, gaming and tech launches
