Our photo booth is now up and running in the Extraction Hall East at Picnic 07. It is a very conceptually simple ‘photo booth that knows your name’.
Physically it’s a large enclosure that takes pictures of participants, when they touch their RFID tags to a spot inside the booth. The photos get uploaded to Flickr and connections between the people being photographed are made within the Picnic website.
The photos are displayed on the outside, where participants can touch another point and see the photos that they have taken of themselves.
It’s interesting to see the development of the photos from the late-night hacking sessions through the elation of the first trial runs to the mass usage. Now we’re at 200 photos in 3 hours.
Come and see us, we’re running until Saturday.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how I could do this from a camera to a Flickr account – is it an automatic or manual process? Thank you!
