Automatically Capturing Photos and Videos

Updated: Jan 2021

If you would like to capture photos (or videos) of users without requiring them to interact with your computer equipment in any way (i.e without them having to use the mouse, keyboard or touchscreen), this article explains how.
Using Face Detection on the Start Screen
One of the features available in RightBooth is the ability for the software to look for a specified number faces within the webcam feed on the events' Start screen.  Once the required number of faces have been detected, RightBooth will automatically progress onto showing the next screen in the event.  By using this feature we can completely automate the process of capturing photos as follows:
  • In RightBooth, create a new event.
  • Click the Design button on the main screen.
  • In the Event Type tab, un-tick: Video and tick: Photo(s).
  • Set the Photo count to 1​.
  • In the Event structure tab, Start section, tick: Move on from start screen after detecting and enter '1' for the number of faces to detect as shown in the following screen shot:

  • In the Choose recording section, un-tick: Include the 'Choose recording' screen
  • In the Show & redo section, tick: Photos and un-tick: Allow user to redo photos
  • In the Thank you section un-tick: Include the Thank you screen
  • Return to the RightBooth main window and save the event.

Congratulations. You have created an automatic photo capture event !

Now play the event and each time anyone places their face in front of the camera, RightBooth will automatically take photos of that user until they move away from the camera.

If you would rather automatically record videos, in the Event Designer set the event type to record videos rather than take photos.

Also, try setting the number of faces to detect to 2.  RightBooth will now only take photos (or record videos) when two or more people are in front of the camera.
If you would like to try a ready made photo capture event, download the following AutoBooth event file, then open and play it in RightBooth:
