Quick Answer: Mirror Booth or AI Booth?

Choose Mirror Booth if: You run a premium event business (luxury weddings, fashion events) where the full-length mirror aesthetic matters and you have operators for every event.

Choose AI Photo Booth if: You want the AI photo booth running at Vantara and Hamleys for malls, gaming zones, or hotels: a cutting-edge machine that runs itself with UPI payments, 200+ AI effects, and zero staff.

For permanent venue installations, cutting-edge AI photo booths deliver 3-5x higher ROI than mirror booths due to unattended operation and UPI revenue.

What is a Mirror Photo Booth?

A mirror photo booth is a full-length mirror (typically 65-70 inches tall) with a hidden camera, touchscreen overlay, and built-in printer. The mirror surface displays animations that guide guests through the photo experience.

Guests can sign on the mirror screen, add stamps and emojis to their photos, and receive instant prints. The sleek mirror design makes it a premium addition to events.

How it works:

  1. Guest approaches the mirror and taps to start
  2. Animations play on screen: prompts, countdowns, effects
  3. Camera captures the photo through the mirror
  4. Guest can sign, add stamps, choose filters on screen
  5. Photo prints instantly from the built-in printer
