The picture shows the design of an automatic photo booth, and outlines how it is used. Overall, the system has an external payment interface, while the interior is equipped with an adjustable stool and other tools needed. The process involves three main stages: commencing with the payment, followed by photographing, and culminating in the acquisition of ready photos. Notably, the procedure relies heavily on the sequential actions of the user.
The process begins when coins are inserted into the payment slot. The user should then choose the preferred format – either one large format or four passport-sized photos – after which the colour can be selected. There are two options: the first is black and white, while the second one is colour; though passport photographs must be taken in colour.
Once the selections are made, the user can sit on an adjustable stool and align themselves to eye level. During the process, the curtains must be closed to prevent surplus light. The user can also check their appearance with a mirror inside, then they should wait for a single flash of light after three seconds. Once the photo is taken, the ready photos can be collected from a special tray outside the booth within a minute.
