A photobooth where a picture’s only taken when two people kiss
People love photobooths. They also love kissing. Designers Talia Radford and Jonas Bohatsch have come up with a novel way to blend the two – a photobooth where the cameras shutter release is triggered when people kiss (or make any other physical connection). Called Thermobooth, you’d think the machine’s mechanism would be activated by image or motion recognition – the latest craze. It’s not. Users stand on a shared ‘circuit board’ connected to the camera and when people’s skin comes into contact with one another the circuit is completed and the photo is taken.
