The UserBooth team would like to welcome you to the new UserBooth.com. We have finally taken some time off other projects and launched this website. It is a bit "skinny" for now, so please bear with us while we add more content (documentation, images etc.). For now you can download the UserBooth script as used in the demo. We are working on a compact screen version and the ASP script version as requested by many of you.
Thank you for your support and feedback!

Release 1.1 adds timer feature and snap info

Tuesday, 20 April 2010 00:58

We have just finished working on a couple of new features for the UserBooth application. We had the timers feature in mind for a long time and went ahead and made it since a few days ago when trying to take some photos with the webcam, we realized that every time one of the user's hands needs to be on the mouse in order to hit the button and take the picture. That frustration is now gone, now you can click on the timer icon, click on the snap button and count down the numbers until the snap will be made. Pretty useful, right? The number of seconds for the timer can be set up in the XML configuration file.

We are also working on a database save function for the application to save info on each snap in a database. For now, we have just added a basic php hack which saves a .txt file alongside the snap with the same name, which file contains the IP address of the user and the exact date and time the snap was taken.

We will be back with more updates in the next few days. Looking forward to your feedback. Oh, and you can share this on Facebook and visit our page there for some fun!

Release Version 1 Information

Thursday, 18 March 2010 20:09

Today we have updated the zip file containing the first release version of UserBooth due to some issues with the code. Now it works just like in the demo version, using two amazing javascript libraries, SWFObject for embedding the UserBooth flash application inside the page, and jQuery which takes care of the integration between the Flash application and the page (passing variables and displaying the snapshot inside the page).

UserBooth.com is now Live!

After a long waiting time, we are glad to announce the release of the UserBooth.com project. You can download and test the free version of the UserBooth Flash application that uses PHP to save the images on the server. A smaller version of this application (a version with just one screen for both the webcam and the snap) has already been developed and we are planning to release it soon.
Right now we are working at an ASP.NET version for those of you who don't use PHP and use ASP instead.
Please send us feedback because we really need it in order to develop a great photo booth application with neat features.

UserBooth - How it all started

Written by vamapaull Monday, 16 November 2009 22:03

A few weeks ago I made a little Flash application named “Photo Booth”. Then I started to work with John on a bigger project that will be very useful for those site owners who want to easily integrate a webcam application into their sites. The final name of the project is UserBooth and that is how it all started. Right now we are still working on the application so please use it, take snapshots and let us know about your experience with the app. We need your feedback ;)

import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
 
var snd:Sound = new camerasound(); //new sound instance for the "capture" button click
 
var bandwidth:int = 0; // Maximum amount of bandwidth that the current outgoing video feed can use, in bytes per second.
var quality:int = 100; // This value is 0-100 with 1 being the lowest quality. 
 
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
cam.setQuality(bandwidth, quality);
cam.setMode(320,240,30,false); // setMode(videoWidth, videoHeight, video fps, favor area)
var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachCamera(cam);
video.x = 20;
video.y = 20;
addChild(video);
