3D/AI Camera Photo Booth

Photography & Video
This interactive exhibit lets visitors take 3D selfie photos using an Android 3D camera tablet device (XReal Beam Pro) .
A custom open source Android app (written by Andy Modla) displays live view stereo images and captures photos in multiple formats:

  • Side-by-Side (SBS) for viewing with a stereoscope

  • Anaglyph for viewing with red/cyan glasses

  • Left and Right Eye 2D Views


After capturing a selfie, participating visitors can:

  • Review their 3D image on a 2D Monitor in SBS/Anaglyph format or with a glasses-free 3D tablet

  • Edit a photo using AI from scripted or spoken prompts (via an Internet service provider)

  • Print a 4x6 photo (Canon CP1300) in 2D, SBS, or Anaglyph format


Create 3D/2D Photo and Graphic Art with AI editing.

Express yourself in a 3D Stereo Window!

I'm a enthusiast 2D/3D photographer and retired software engineer. I like to explore the intersection of the Arts, Technology, and Photography with cameras, computer devices and code. It turns out many 3D photographers are makers who build their own 3D camera rigs because there are few inexpensive commercial  alternatives.

What inspired you to make this project?
I made a photo booth for family celebrations and photo shoots. Later I extended the project for 3D stereo capture.
Recently I added AI photo editing using text prompts from participants. My goal is to have fun making graphic and stylized art and edit images from original real photos working in collaboration with subject participants.

What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
Writing code for an Android 3D camera that performs well enough for live view was a hard challenge. I got help using AI code generation from Anthropic Claude,
Google Gemini, and OpenAI. It was vital when I was stuck on a problem. These tools became very helpful assistants.
