Photo Booth
Academy of Art New Media Photo Booth
The Academy of Art in San Francisco needed a Photo Booth to show off examples of what new media is to prospective students.
The web application runs on a combination of Flash, PHP, Javascript and jQuery to make a seamless photographic experience. An email with a thumbnail of the chosen photo gets generated and sent to the user.

The Photo Booth for prospective students
The user clicks the button to take a series of 5 photographs. A single photograph is then selected as their preferred photo. Flash takes care of getting the camera input and provides the user interface.

Give an email address to get your pic
The user types in their name and e-mail address. From there the data and image is passed down to PHP where it is resized to a thumbnail and saved to a database.

HTML e-mail delivered with the user's image
The email is primarily a marketing tool for the school. Links to the Academy of Art - School of New Media website, their Facebook page and Twitter stream are all sent along with the user's image. A copy of the email gets sent to the school where they follow up on the lead.

Why Flash was chosen to run the Photo Booth
Although Flash and Actionscript3 are on their way out, they were selected as the technologies for this project as HTML5's camera facilities have not yet been implemented in all browsers.
