For the first time the photo booth and the jukebox comes together. AMI Entertainment has launched its NGX Face Place, combining Apple Industries’ Smile 2.0 photo booth technology with AMI’s NGX jukebox and V3 software.

The benefit is that users can choose music and at the same time take their photograph and have it printed out on the spot. The technology will sense people passing by and invite them to take a photograph.

There are a number of purchase options in terms of size and ‘window dressing’ of the subjects to add fun. The pictures can then be sent by email, or by social networks, to others and the photo prints can be personalised with their logo of the location or used in some other way for advertising purposes.

The product is destined to hit the market in June and outside the US it will be available through AMI distributors.
