Custom AI Photo Booths for Brand Activations, Nationwide

An AI photo booth is only worth the footprint if every output looks like the brand made it. PivotXP builds each AI photo and video activation to the client's art spec: the scene, the wardrobe, the logos and the copy are approved before show day, and the guest sees a finished photo in seconds. Our local, in-house developers build the kiosk, the render pipeline and the delivery, and we ship it to your team or run it on site anywhere in the US.

AI Face Swap

Built: An AI photo kiosk for Chevrolet at NASCAR Championship Weekend, with Jack Morton, who supplied the art spec and driver photography. Fans picked one of five Chevrolet Cup drivers, took one photo, and about 16 seconds later saw themselves in a Chevrolet fire suit next to that driver under championship fireworks. Each fan also got an 8-second vertical video, by text, email or QR. Over three show days fans ran 337 sessions and took 301 photos home, with 42 sessions in the peak hour.

Lesson: Put the guest on a pre-approved body and scene. Every logo and sponsor mark is right because the AI never draws them.

Powered Footprint

Built: An AI baseball card kiosk for Chevrolet at the MLB All-Star Fan Fest in Atlanta, with Jack Morton. Background removal lifted each fan out of the booth and onto a personalized, team-style card, inside an RFID footprint that also ran an LED room and two green-screen experiences. The footprint produced 2,856 outputs over five days.

Lesson: AI works best as one station in a footprint. The wristband ties the card to everything else the fan did.

On-Site Printing

Built: A retro roadside photo booth for Chevrolet at the New York Auto Show, with Jack Morton. Guests scanned their event wristband, their name appeared on a neon sign in a dusk scene with vintage Chevys, and real-time background removal placed them in it, with an animated digital version. Photos were printed on site and made into 3,639 custom magnets.

Lesson: A name in the scene is the cheapest personalization there is, and the one guests show other people.

Every Output Unique

Built: A generative art experience for WPP at CES, with Be The Machine. Guests entered a date and a place that mattered to them, Google's AI generated that night sky in WPP's colors, and the artwork flowed straight to print on a canvas bag with the coordinates and date. No manual steps and no design queue; every output was one of one.

Lesson: It does not have to start with a photo. A guest's own answer can be the input.

Seven AI treatments, one software layer

Each one is art-directed to the brand's guidelines and signed off before show day. They run on any of our capture systems.

AI head swap

The guest's face on a pre-approved branded body and scene: team kits, black tie, race suits. Every logo, seam and sponsor mark stays exactly right.

AI image regeneration

The guest's photo becomes the input to a full prompt, and they are regenerated inside a brand-built scene in seconds.

Themed regeneration

The same engine, art-directed to a theme the brand approves in advance.

AI background removal

The guest stays exactly as shot and is placed into the scene, edges and all.

Personalized signage

Guests type their name and it renders into the scene, on a sign, a jersey or a marquee.

AI era video

One photo taken through the decades, with every era pre-built and brand-approved.

AI walk-out video

A guest photo becomes a custom walk-out onto the field, delivered like a photo would be.

What comes with the booth

  • A touchscreen kiosk or tablet capture station, wrapped and skinned to the brand's art spec
  • A prompt set built against the brand guidelines, with test renders and sign-off before show day
  • Render capacity sized to the line, so outputs land in seconds
  • Delivery by text, email or QR, on a branded share page

How a build goes

  1. 1. Send the key art

    The brand guidelines, the scene or idea, the dates and cities, and whether you want prints.

  2. 2. Scoped estimate, same day

    A line-item estimate with the booth, the AI creative, render capacity and delivery named.

  3. 3. Test renders

    We build the prompt set and send test renders until the style, colors and product details hold. The brand signs off before show day.

  4. 4. Ship or staff

    The booth ships with a setup guide for your team, or PivotXP techs run it on site.

  5. 5. Report

    Sessions, deliveries, shares and opt-ins, ready for the recap.

No templates. Ever.

Every deployment is a custom build for your company.
Your brand guidelines, not ours.

Nothing we ship is a product with your logo dropped on it. Each program is designed and built from scratch for the brand running it, by our own local, in-house developers (nothing outsourced, nothing offshore), to the brand guidelines your marketing team already enforces. Your typefaces, your colors, your motion, your tone, your legal lines. Ours never appear.

Bring the brand guidelines to the kickoff call. No formal guidelines yet? We work from your logo files and website and send a style sheet for sign-off before the build starts.

Start a Custom BuildSee Builds in Other Brands

Your typography and color system

We build to the brand book: approved typefaces, exact color values, logo clear space, and lockups. No near-miss colors, no fallback fonts.

Your voice on every screen

Start screens, prompts, consent language, share pages, and texts are written in your tone, then approved by your team before anything ships.

Your motion and sound

Transitions, idle loops, win states, and audio follow your motion and sound rules, or stay quiet if the brand says so.

Your legal and compliance lines

Official rules, disclaimers, age gates, and opt-in copy placed where your counsel wants them, word for word.

Your look on the hardware

Wraps, enclosures, and fabrication finished in the brand palette and materials. Nothing on the floor says PivotXP.

Your sign-off before it ships

You review a working build, not a mockup, and approve it against your guidelines before it goes on a truck.

Proof, not promises

How custom builds are quoted

What a custom build quote contains.

A custom interactive is a software product with hardware attached, and the quote reads that way: a fixed price for the scoped build, hardware itemized as pass-through, and the deployment, support, and change-order terms written down before anyone starts.

Scope a Build(704) 284-7155

Nine lines, always in this order, so you can compare two of our quotes against each other and never against a booth rental. Send the concept deck and a budget bracket and the first version comes back the same business day.

1. Discovery and experience design

The brief becomes a build spec: guest flow, screens, scoring or capture logic, data fields, and the hardware list. Waived on returning accounts, but it always appears.

2. Software build

One fixed fee for the scoped build, with the complexity tier named: a new skin on an existing engine, a new interaction with data capture, or a multi-mode build with sensors, AI, or integrations.

3. Hardware

Itemized as pass-through: screens, kiosks, readers, sensors, printers, cases. Your team or your fabricator can supply any of it.

4. Deployment, burn-in, and configuration

Kiosk prep, pre-ship test, and the burn-in run on the real program before it leaves.

5. On-site technician days and travel

Priced per tech per day at one rate for every client; travel at cost with a range quoted up front.

6. Shipping and road cases

Round trip, parcel or freight, with return labels.

7. Post-event support window

Remote support for a set window after the event, with an optional hosting and support subscription for programs that keep running.

8. Change orders and rush terms

Written before the work, at a rate printed in the contract. Nothing is "not a problem" without a line, even when that line is waived.

9. Contingency

Added when your procurement matrix asks for one, shown as its own line.

Lead times

How much runway each kind of project needs.

Kiosk or Starlink rental

Ships the next business day after the contract is signed, timed to arrive before your setup date.

Brand an existing kiosk

Days once your art arrives. Wrap art, overlays, share page, and AI creative. Art specs sent at kickoff.

Custom software build

Days for a proven format, a few weeks for something new. Local, in-house developers, never outsourced, scenario-tested before it ships.

Hardware + software concept

Weeks, not months. Software and sensor integration in house; fabrication gets a real date at the quote stage.

Clickable prototype for a pitch

Days. Enough to win the room before anything is built.

Tight timeline? Say so on the form. Rentals and returning programs move in days; we will tell you honestly what a new build can hit.

FAQ

What is an AI photo booth?+

It is a photo booth where the guest's photo is transformed by AI before they receive it: placed in a branded scene, dressed in a team kit or race suit, turned into a trading card, or animated into a short video. PivotXP builds each one to the brand's art spec, so the result is on brand every time.

How do you keep AI photos on brand?+

We build a prompt set against the brand guidelines before show day and run test renders until the style, colors and product details hold. For anything with logos or sponsor marks we use head swap or background removal on pre-approved artwork, so the AI never draws the brand elements.

How long does a guest wait?+

Seconds. At NASCAR Championship Weekend, Chevrolet's fans saw a finished photo about 16 seconds after posing. Render capacity is sized to the expected line at the quote stage.

Can you run AI photo activations nationwide?+

Yes. Published AI work has run in Miami, Atlanta, New York and Las Vegas. Booths ship anywhere in the US with a setup guide for your team, or PivotXP techs travel with them.

Can it do video as well as photos?+

Yes. Chevrolet's fans each received an 8-second vertical video with their photo. Era video and walk-out video turn one guest photo into a short branded clip, delivered by text or email.

Can the AI photo be printed on site?+

Yes. AI baseball cards were printed for Chevrolet at the MLB All-Star Fan Fest, magnets at the New York Auto Show, and generative art on canvas bags for WPP at CES.

Are guest photos used to train AI models?+

No. Guest photos are used only to generate that guest's output, are not used to train any model, and are purged with the rest of the program's personal data after close. We do not run facial recognition, and the consent language on the kiosk names the AI use in plain words.

Which AI models do you use?+

Whichever fits the creative and the client's requirements. We have shipped programs on Google's image models and on other commercial providers, and we document the provider and the data flow in the proposal so procurement and legal can sign off first.

Which agencies have you built AI photo activations with?+

Jack Morton for Chevrolet, and Be The Machine for WPP. PivotXP works white-label under the agency or directly with the brand.

How far ahead do you need the brief?+

Branding an existing AI booth takes days once the art arrives. A new AI treatment takes weeks, not months, because our developers are in house. Send the dates and we will tell you what fits.
