Photobooth

The photobooth module aims to create a standalone photobooth to be used. It's the only required module as it's the core of PartyHall.

Main usage​

When pressing the physical button, a count down will be displayed and a picture will be taken. It will be displayed on the screen for a few seconds.

If you have a physical flash and you did enable it in the settings, it will be triggered. Otherwise you will have to rely on the screen flashing white.

@TODO: Take video to demo the feature

Note that while this is called a photobooth, it's not really one in the traditional meaning as there is no printer. This is not a short-coming but a design choice. Maybe at some point I will add the feature as an optional one but it's not planned yet.

Unattended pictures​

If the setting is enabled, the photobooth module will also take pictures by itself every few minutes.

Those will never be seen by themselves as they will be compiled as a timelapse when the event is over by PartyNexus.

While taking unattended pictures, the flash will not be triggered.

Web UI​

In the web ui, you can find a Photobooth page.

This contains the count of hand-taken pictures and the count of unattended pictures.

You can select there the backdrop album to be used and the currently selected backdrop.

You also have a button to take a picture that will be trigger just as if you pressed the physical button.

You also have a button to turn on or off the flash to test its brightness.
