Hero Booth – Step By Step
Step 1: Welcome Screen & Data Capture
The welcome screen of Hero Booth uses choreographed footage of your hero’s beckoning guests over to take part and have a selfie.
The user then submits their name and email address, along with any other data or insights that you would like to collect as part of your campaign.
Step 2: The Celebrity Photo Booth Selfie
Depending on your campaign, you can offer your guests a choice of hero for their selfie.
At the London Marathon, guests could choose from David Weir, Paula Radcliffe, or Mo Farah. For our WSL Hero Booth, participants could take selfies with various football stars.
The chosen hero then guides your guest through the selfie process, prompting them to pose for the camera and counting down to the shot. Afterward, the hero shows the user the photo to ensure they’re happy before proceeding to the next stage.
Step 3: Printing & Social Sharing
Hero Booth adds a branded overlay to the picture before sending the final selfie to your guest’s inbox.
If you’d like to offer a printed version, then our team can print the selfie out to high-quality photo paper or even transfer the image to a tote bag or t-shirt. If you want to supercharge your event’s social footprint, combine Hero Booth with our ShareStation+ platform. This will allow your guests to share directly on social media from their phones by scanning a simple QR code.

How We Digitise the Heroes
Green Screen Video
The process of digitising heroes for our Hero Booth begins with a green screen video shoot.
Our team captures carefully choreographed gestures and movements, integrating them into a branded user experience. This creates a seamless selfie sequence where the celebrity grabs people’s attention, invites them to participate, and guides them step-by-step through capturing and sharing their celebrity selfie.

What is Hero Booth?
Hero Booth is an augmented reality photo experience that allows guests to take selfies alongside virtual celebrities, athletes, characters, or brand ambassadors.
It recreates the feeling of a meet-and-greet, turning well-known personalities into an interactive, scalable photo opportunity at your event.
Who is Hero Booth for?
Hero Booth is designed for brands and organisers running campaigns centred around recognisable people or characters.
It works particularly well for sporting events, festivals, and brand activations where there is an existing connection between the audience and the “hero” featured in the experience.
How does Hero Booth work?
The experience is simple and guided from start to finish.
Guests approach the booth, enter their details if required, and select the hero they want to appear with. The virtual character then guides them through the moment, creating a natural interaction before the final photo or video is captured and delivered instantly.
The result feels less like a standard photo and more like a shared moment.
What makes Hero Booth different from a standard photo booth?
Instead of simply taking a picture, guests engage with a virtual personality that responds and guides them. This creates a more memorable experience and a stronger emotional connection, especially when the hero is someone the audience already recognises.
What kind of heroes can be included?
The experience is fully flexible. Heroes can be based on real people such as athletes or ambassadors, fictional characters, mascots, or entirely custom campaign creations.
Each one is designed to fit naturally into the experience and guide the user through it in a way that feels authentic to the brand.
How are the virtual heroes created?
Heroes are typically created through a filmed capture process, where movements, prompts, and interactions are recorded and then built into the experience.
This allows the character to feel present and responsive, rather than appearing as a static overlay.
Can guests choose between multiple heroes?
Yes, multiple heroes can be included within the same experience.
This is often used in campaigns featuring different players, characters, or ambassadors, giving guests a choice and increasing replay value.
What type of content does Hero Booth create?
Hero Booth can produce high-quality branded photos or short-form video content.
The outputs are designed to feel polished and shareable, giving guests something they actively want to keep and post.
How is content shared with guests?
Content is delivered instantly, either through QR code download, email, or direct sharing options.
Physical prints or branded merchandise can also be added, depending on how the experience is set up.
Can Hero Booth capture guest data?
Yes, the experience can include fully customisable data capture.
This allows you to collect guest details and insights as part of the journey, with everything handled in a GDPR-compliant way and ready to integrate with your existing systems.
What types of events is Hero Booth best suited to?
Hero Booth is particularly effective in environments where audience engagement and footfall matter.
It performs well at large-scale public events, fan zones, exhibitions, and brand activations, especially where there is a clear connection between the audience and the featured hero.
Can Hero Booth handle high footfall?
Yes, it’s designed for busy environments.
The guided nature of the experience keeps things moving while still delivering a high-quality output, making it suitable for events with a constant flow of guests.
Is Hero Booth fully brandable?
Every part of the experience can be tailored, from the interface and messaging through to the look and behaviour of the hero itself.
This ensures the final experience feels like a natural extension of your campaign, rather than an off-the-shelf product.
