Real-time try-on
Guests see the look on themselves at the booth, not on a model.
Feature / Virtual try-on
A virtual try-on photo booth for launches, retail and activations.
Virtual try-on lets guests see themselves wearing a look, an outfit or a branded product, then take that photo home. It turns a product launch or store event into something people share, with your brand in every frame.
Why it works

Why try-on works at events
A product on a stand is easy to walk past. A photo of yourself wearing it is not. Virtual try-on gives visitors a reason to stop, a result they want to share, and a moment with the product that a flyer can't match.
Every shared photo carries your frame, logo and campaign line, so the activation keeps working after the event on guests' Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok.
Details
Who uses a virtual try-on booth
- Fashion and apparel launches that want guests to wear the new collection in their photo.
- Retail and mall activations where the photo is the reason to stop at the stand.
- Sponsors at concerts and sports events putting fans in team kit or merch.
- Eyewear, jewellery and accessories brands running in-store events.

How a try-on activation is set up
Send us the product images and the campaign brief. We set up the try-on styles, the frame and the delivery page, and you test them on the free trial before the event.
On the day, the booth runs on your hardware or on a DG kiosk. Every result is delivered by QR code, SMS, email or WhatsApp, and you keep the lead list.

Measuring the activation
Because each guest receives their photo through a branded delivery page, you can collect contact details before the download and export the list after the event. Agree the consent wording and who follows up with the leads before the event starts.
Count how many photos were taken, how many guests left their details, and how many shared the result. Those numbers make it easier to justify the next activation.

Try-on, face swap or a prompt style?
All three put the guest into a new image, but they answer different briefs. Virtual try-on keeps the guest's own pose and face and changes what they wear, so it suits product launches and retail. Face swap places the guest's face into a ready-made scene, such as a movie poster or a royal portrait. Prompt styles redraw the whole photo in a look you describe, from anime to oil painting.
You can offer all three at one booth and let guests choose on the touchscreen. Most brand activations lead with try-on and add one fun style to keep the queue moving.

What you need to run it
- A booth on Windows, iPad, Web or Android, or a DG turnkey kiosk.
- A camera that sees the guest from head to waist: a webcam, the iPad camera or a Canon, Nikon or Sony body.
- Even front lighting, such as a ring light, so fabrics and colours look right.
- Clear product images or a short brief for each look you want guests to try.
- Internet for the AI step; if the venue Wi-Fi drops, try-on jobs queue and are delivered when the connection returns.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a virtual try-on photo booth?
A photo booth that shows guests wearing a product or look they choose on the screen, such as a jacket, team kit or eyewear, and gives them the photo to keep and share.
Does it work without internet?
Capture continues without internet, and try-on jobs are queued with the guest's delivery details. Photos are delivered automatically when the connection returns.
Can guests try on more than one look?
Yes. Offer several looks on the touchscreen. Each try-on photo uses one AI credit.
Can we run try-on in a mall or store for weeks at a time?
Yes. Run it on a DG kiosk or your own hardware, and change the looks for each campaign without new equipment.
What products can guests try on?
Clothing, jackets, team kit, accessories and other looks can be set up as try-on styles. Send your product images and we will confirm what works for your campaign.

No. It runs on the same Windows, iPad, Web or Android setup as the rest of DG Photobooth, with a webcam, the iPad camera or a Canon, Nikon or Sony camera.
Can we collect leads from try-on photos?
Yes. Branded delivery pages can ask for contact details before the guest downloads the photo.
