Apple’s photo booths have become wildly popular in many amusement locations, such bars and clubs, game rooms, movie theaters, national chains/stores, bowling centers, theme parks, and family entertainment centers. Apple is also the major supplier to the event-rental industry with its portable Photo2Go and Wedding Booth.

Apple recently launched an ambitious social media promotion that puts the customer’s Face Place portrait photo on a giant electronic billboard in Times Square, New York City. Customers can briefly splash the photo of their choice on one of the huge electronic billboards in Times Square. While the customer’s Face Place portrait picture is displayed on the billboard, a still camera (located across the Square) snaps a photo of the street scene, showing the customer’s image on the billboard. Once the photo is posted to the billboard, the customer will receive an email of their photo being seen in Times Square.
