Wedding Guests Use Game Boy Cameras for Unique Photo Booth Experience
Modern Game Boy Wedding Photo Booth Brings Nostalgia and Technology Together
A unique wedding photo booth experience is now available, combining the nostalgia of the classic Game Boy Camera with modern technology. The booth, created by individual developer Sebastian, offers a fresh take on traditional photo booths.
The heart of the setup is a combination of the original Game Boy hardware, controlled by a Raspberry Pi 4, and a modern mirrorless digital camera for higher resolution, full-color images. The system captures video and isolates a few still images from it, providing guests with a variety of options for their snapshots.
The control system includes a piece of Game Boy hardware called the GB Interceptor, which allows the Raspberry Pi 4 to capture the video feed directly. The GB Interceptor is also used in various modernization projects to upgrade the Game Boy Camera's capabilities.
In addition to the hardware, a Flask-based web app with a GUI provides a user-friendly interface for managing the photo booth. This app allows guests to easily start the photography process using two large buttons.
Once the images are captured, they are printed using the Game Boy Printer, maintaining the retro aesthetic of the entire setup.
Some projects aim to modernize the Game Boy Camera further, including one that adds Wi-Fi capability to the hardware. Another project focuses on hardware modifications such as replacing or upgrading the image sensor and adding modern processing capabilities, as well as improving the output display quality.
The wedding photo booth design capitalizes on nostalgia for the Game Boy Camera while offering guests a modern, high-resolution, and full-color photo experience. Whether you're a fan of the classic Game Boy or just looking for a unique photo booth experience, this setup is sure to impress.
