PivotXP

The aura photo booth for brand activations.

Guests step into the light, their aura appears around them, and they leave with a glowing portrait and a reading of what their colors say. Every palette, card and screen is built to your brand, by in-house developers, and run on site by the team that built it.

How it works

From the line to their phone, in one stop.

  1. 01

    Check in

    A QR scan or a few taps on the kiosk registers the guest and captures your opt-ins before the photo.

  2. 02

    Step into the light

    The guest stands in front of the camera on a dark, lit set. Add hand sensors or a glowing crystal ball if you want a ritual before the photo.

  3. 03

    The aura appears

    Software cuts the guest out cleanly and paints a glowing color field around them, with a reading for their colors.

  4. 04

    Take it home

    The portrait and reading card go to the guest's phone by text, email or QR, and print on site if you add a printer.

Aura color meanings

What the colors say.

The reading is the part guests talk about. These are the classic aura colors and what they stand for; for your event we can rename them, rewrite them in your voice, or tie each one to a product, shade or flavor.

  • Red

    Grounded, passionate, full of energy

  • Orange

    Adventurous, creative, a little rebellious

  • Gold / Yellow

    Optimistic, confident, a natural leader

  • Green

    Nurturing, growth-minded, a builder

  • Turquoise

    Calm, expressive, a healer

  • Blue

    Loyal, intuitive, a clear communicator

  • Violet

Aura photo booth FAQ

What is an aura photo booth?

An aura photo booth takes a portrait of the guest and surrounds them with a glowing field of color, their aura, then gives them a short reading of what their colors mean. PivotXP's aura photo booth delivers the portrait and a branded reading card to the guest's phone and can print it on site.

Is the aura reading real?

It is an entertainment experience, and we say so. Some aura booths are marketed as reading your energy field through hand sensors; those sensors pick up things like skin temperature or sweat and turn them into colors, and there is no scientific evidence that any camera or sensor can see an aura. We would rather be honest with your guests than oversell it: the colors and readings are written for fun and for your brand story, not as a scientific or medical measurement, and it is just as much fun when everyone is in on it.

Can guests use hand sensors, a crystal ball or other props?

Yes, if you want that feel. We can add hand sensor plates to the booth so guests rest their palms on them before the photo, and their readings shape the colors they get. We can also add a crystal ball that glows in the guest's aura colors as their reading appears, or build other props around your theme. Rituals like these make the moment feel personal and give the line something to watch. The reading is still for fun, and we keep the guest-facing copy honest about that.

Can you do custom aura colors for our brand?

Yes. The aura palette is built from your brand's exact color codes, so every portrait glows in your colors instead of a generic rainbow. Each color gets a custom name and reading in your voice, tied to a product, shade, flavor or campaign line, and you approve sample portraits in your palette before the event.

Can the reading card match our brand too?

Yes. Every deployment is designed to the client's brand guidelines: the card carries your logo, campaign line and product tie-ins, and the share page, text and email guests receive use your colors.

How do guests get their aura photo?

By text, email or QR code, usually before they walk away. Add a printer and they also leave with a printed reading card or a framed keepsake.

How is an aura photo booth different from a regular photo booth?

A regular photo booth gives the guest a photo. The aura booth gives them a photo plus a personal reading, which is why people line up, compare colors with friends and post the result.

Can we capture leads with the aura booth?

Yes. Registration and opt-ins happen in the line by QR or at the kiosk, and you get a lead export and a dashboard with portraits, deliveries, shares and opt-ins.

How much does an aura photo booth rental cost?

Pricing depends on the event days, the creative, prints, travel and staffing. Send the date, the city and the brand, and PivotXP returns a line-item quote the same business day.
