What are you using right now in your photo booth setup?
I'm currently doing some research about what software to use. I need it to be autonomous, on the first screen the customer should select the picture sizes and number of copies in order to charge the customer and then open the session for them. Something like the Photo Booths in South Korea. Any suggestions? Thank you.!!!
Just watched the first video from earlier this year and all comments those impolite people left.... Should put them on camera let them give a it a shot. Anyhow great work seeing the growth from the first video to this one, you are feeling much more natural and your gestures and emoting doesn't distract. Keep it up, you'll be a pro in no time! One small pro tip that might help you, keep your heels planted, you are bouncing on your heels and it causes more movement than you want. Keep a good powerful confident planted base, heals down :)
Thanks, Tony! I appreciate the feedback & am happy to see less criticism this time around 😆
What a delightful beautiful happy pixie, showcasing a build i also love
Thank you so much!
Great video! Thank you for all the great information. You touched briefly on the use of touch foil and creating circular touch mirrors, could you elaborate more on that? Specifically how they work and where to obtain them would be awesome.
That's a great idea, I'll cover projective capacitive (PCAP) touch technology in my next video on photo booths.
I really appreciate this video. It’s so helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Yo... you are the BEST!!!!
Thanks! You as well
Great video, thank you. Just a note a Mini PC doesn't over heat or have issues. Cheap ones do but all the modern intel NUC options with 8gb RAM are fine and don't have issues at all.
All PCs will have issues if they're not cooled well enough. I suggest having a fan in the top and vents in the bottom of any case that is housing a PC of any size. Thermal throttling sucks!
Thanks for the tips! I'll have to check that out
Which one on Amazon would you recommend? The mini pc
Amazing video! very informative and encouraging, i just have a silly question: is it posible to reescale the touch area of the frame to work directly over a smaller tv and still be precise? i know you just did it, but I want people to draw over their photo and the line to appears where they want. How did you do it? which brand is your touch frame?
Yes you can! Greentouch (You can find it on Amazon!) offers amazing IR Touch frames and I in the description of this video there is a link to calibrate it so it will work with a smaller TV screen. 😄
How did you make the LED frame around the mirror, with perspex? You didn't show in the video? Thanks!
The LED frame around the mirror is actually behind the mirror itself. We sandblasted the mirror coating of the Glass Smart Mirror and lined the LED lights on the inside of the frame so it would have a nice, soft/diffused look to the glow. At the timestamp 2:56 you can see the back of the frame where we put the black LED light strips. The back looks gray because it is sandblasted on the 2" perimeter of the glass.
Super Video. Vielen lieben Dank aus Deutschland
Thank you!
Thank you for the video! What software are you using?
Thank you! Darkroom Booth 3 is what I used for this video. 😄
I just love your videos… ok, with that said I have a question. Can the same printer be used for the mirror and iPad ring booth? And what printer is being used? Thank you 😊
Yes, the printer is connected via WIFI or Bluetooth, so it will work for whatever you need it to!
absolutely love this! ok i’d like to build the one like this, i’ve got a surface pro 4 for the laptop could you give me the dimensions for this style you show cheers! x
Hi!! Thank you so much!! You can use any dimensions you would like!!
i want to start a photo booth business and sub contract to a bunch of banquet halls (i am connected to many of the owners), I was thinking an ipad and a ring light would get the job done since i wont be charging a lot but could i do this for the same cost?
Alex, Great question! It depends on what you already have and what size you want to do! For instance if you have a Canon DSLR or extra computer, it could be cost effective. It just depends. :) If you already have an iPad then I would say yes the iPad would be more cost effective. For iPads I absolutely love the Simplebooth software. It is $200 but is hands down the most fun app to use and you can go for a business software version for a monthly fee if you would want to collect client data like email, phone, etc.
thank you so much for your video
my question is... in order to fit the camera how do you configure your IR Touch frame for a smaller screen? and how did you set the bounds of the inner screen...
thanks again, congrats for your video.
Thank you! Calibrate Your IR Touch using this guide:
fotomasterltd.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006284514-Mirror-Me-Booth-IR-Touch-Service-Calibration
It will prompt you to touch the corners of the screen to calibrate it.
@@twowaymirrors thanks!! Are the link instructions and downloadable software compatible with any ir touch frame? since im from Mexico i could only buy this one:
www.amazon.com.mx/gp/product/B07D1ZS95R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks!
Hello....great video! Do you only need one of the software programs listed above or all of them?
Just one! Darkroom is my recommended mirror photo booth software
Two Way Mirrors Thank you 😁
Great video. If the IR touch is located in front of the mirror. How do you get the cord not to be pinched by it?
Thank you! We sand down one corner to fit the cable, but still be hidden by the frame.
Excellent information and product. Can you direct me to the info for the back build??
Hi! Thank you! www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror-tv/
Hi, what kind of 2 way mirror did you use and what size? We have a photobooth business and we want to try building our own magic mirror photobooth..i want the exact size in your video. Hope you can help me. More power. Thank you
In the video, I used a 32" Greentouch IR frame (from amazon) and the glass was the same size. I placed a Microsoft Surface X behind it. The mirror is a Smart Mirror from my website at: www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/ Hope that helps!
Thank you for your videos!
Can you show (explain) please, how to make circle mirror? Because if I already have a sensor display, I can’t use the foil on a glass, because in this case sensor will not work. And the circle IR frame is absent in a markets…
And if I put the two way mirror(5mm) on a sensor display, it’s too not working… 😳
Hi! Please check out our website twowaymirrors.com! We are able to cut circle pieces! :)
Congratulations, great video. Could you show how build big mirror at 10:56 on video?
Thanks! The illuminated mirror is simply an acrylic mirror where we rounded the corners and sand blasted the mirror around the edge. We added an LED strip to the back for illumination.
Where can I find your website to find EVERYTHING that is needed to make my own mirror booth? Thank you!! 🤗
Hi! You can find everything you need at twowaymirrors.com ❤❤
And 😊 you recommend two cameras and two different lenses.. which do you really prefer? Thanks again 😊
We love the Canon!
how can you sync the IR touch overlay to the small display, If your using the 55inch touch overlay, complete 55inch will work?, for example: i am using 55inch touch overlay with 15 inch display behind the glass, how do I sync 55inch touch overlay to work for 15 inch display
There are programs you can run that will calibrate it to the screen size you have.
@@twowaymirrors can you help me out with the link to programs that I can access? I will be buying a IR overlay in my city.
@@twowaymirrors Please make a video on this
I know this video is 1 year old but I have a question.
Can I use a 17" IR touch overlay with a 14" surface pro table but have the mirror at 25-32" and then that camera on top.
Because IR are so expensive in Australia I want to test on a small scale before going larger.
Thank love the video
hi! Thank you for watching! The IR has to be the same size as the glass for it to work with the monitor.
@@twowaymirrors I can't buy this glass you talk of in Sydney I have called around many places can I use anything else..?
@@DjNavSydney Just the smart mirror glass and a Greentouch IR frame, as far as I know! Here's the product page: www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/
Can you show how to make a smart mirror that shows you the time etc
Totally! Here is my guide to smart mirrors: ua-cam.com/video/rR3btsxWM5Q/v-deo.html
We do have instructions online for how to make one and you can even purchase it built, ready to go.
Also what’s the difference from 16 vs 20 points on the ir overlay?
Think of "points" as fingers. 16 fingers on the screen vs 20. ! :)
Hello we can use Sony cameras model? Like 6000 series mirror less?
Yes!
I tried to build magic mirror photo booth using touch foil, but there is a problem, because the two way mirror film i used make the touch foil not working. Please, any advice?
It will not work with film. try using a reflective and transparent glass instead of film. You can view our smart mirror glass or dielectric glass! Twowaymirrors.com
price for 32” glass to fit behind a 32” Ir pannel please? delivered to uk!
Please email us for a quote! :) sales@twowaymirorrs.com
Hello. Im in process of ordering a touch foil... but they're telling me the metal in the mirror will render the touch foil useless. Can you give specifics on exactly what touch foil you used?
Dusty, the PCAP works great through our mirrors! We provide the touch film for clients quite often.
@@twowaymirrors is it dielectric mirrors only? Or works through the metal silvering? The several companies i asked said metal conductivity interference wont work. You sell the pcap touch foils?
@@Dusty_Iron Yes, we just received a full selection of sizes, feel free to email us for pricing. PCAP only works on mirrors with a dielectric coating (or at minimum, an overcoating)
what's the best mirror photo booth I can buy for start a business? and from where?
I dont know how can I trust the saller?
plz help :(
I'm not sure where you can buy a completed system, but you can always buy the glass and create your own! that's what a lot of small businesses do.
hi, what is the size , in inch , of your touch frame?
The one in the video (the small one) is a 32" IR Touch size.
Beautiful work and thank you for sharing ideas. Where can I purchase the touch foil?
I get my PCAP from elotouch. Also, the IR frame can be purchased on Amazon from Greentouch. Works great, and way less expensive!
Hello! But the flash is not used ? Thanks for the answer.
Unless you place the camera on the complete top, no, you would not use flash. It would distort the final result.
how can buy parts from you and where can i get the sotfware you use Have a magics mirror system that doesn't work? want to try software ?? Company no help so far could you build a new syatem with my magic parts and idea of cost and where to call
You can buy our glass at twowaymirrors.com! You can send us an email with any detailed questions you have! :)
Will this work with an iPad Pro?
It works best with Windows. Unfortunately, blocking the screen of an iPad makes it difficult to control. Unless you're using Siri, of course!
😍😍😍

How much for the one you are displaying right now?
It's a prototype I use at parties! Check out www.twowaymirrors.com/photo-booth-diy-guide/ for more info on making a mirror photo booth!
Hi I like ur video. Just had one question. Once u have ur display (tablet) do u still connect it to a laptop or computer? Would I need a USB hub to connect the computers display overlay and camera?
Great question! If you're using a tablet, you don't need to connect it to a PC. If you're using a TV or monitor, you do need to connect it. A USB hub may be useful if you need to connect more than just the touch overlay via USB
hi, do you have a reference site?
Hi! Yes, we have examples on our website twowaymirrors.com!

Donde consigo la lámina touch
You can make it touch by adding an IR Touch in front of the glass!
this is bad ass!
Thanks so much! Mirror Photo Booths are super fun for events too. I brought it to a wedding one time and totally rocked the party.
I like big booths
Photo Booths!!!
what is the name of the model
For which part?
How much does it cost to build one roughly
Wish I could tell you it's cheap! It's definitely cheaper to make your own than purchase a full system though. Here's the article I wrote about making mirror photo booths www.twowaymirrors.com/mirror-photo-booth/
Thanks heaps I’ve really wanted to add one of these to my business for a while
Nice figure you got there
Thanks!
Where u located
We are located in Toledo, Ohio!
Hi, Do you make this Mirror Photo Booth for customers?
Yes, we supply photo booths with everything except the PC & software on twowaymirrors.com
Where can I buy two way mirror glass or Acrylic two way mirror glass Best to use
Thanks I like rebuild my Magic Mirror
I'd go with the glass if possible. Acrylic is fine if the mirror is 24" x 48" or smaller and you aren't adding touch to it.
How much would you say I would be spending to make this?
Less than 3k for a full-fledged mirror photo booth, if you make it a DIY project. Here's our guide so far: www.twowaymirrors.com/mirror-photo-booth/
Loved the information, had way too many dramatic pauses.
Thanks! Check out our sequel, there are no pauses! ua-cam.com/video/wt-9zN9PZkQ/v-deo.html
