Overview
What this is

Purimo is a live purikura-inspired photo booth experience for events. It combines a touchscreen kiosk interface, guided photo capture, layout selection, kawaii overlay styling, and printed take-home output.

Who it is for

It is for events, parties, and brand moments where the photo booth should feel playful, visual, and easy for guests to use without an operator standing next to them.

Why I built it

I wanted to build an experience where software, hardware, print output, and event product thinking all meet in one visible object.

Problem / Solution

The problem

Most event photo booths feel generic and passive. Guests press a button, wait, and leave with a standard print. Purimo needed to feel more like a Japanese arcade booth: visual, guided, cute, and still practical enough to run at a real event.

The solution

Purimo uses a fullscreen WPF kiosk app to guide the session: idle screen, countdown, three-photo capture, layout selection, preview, print, reset. The app keeps the state flow deterministic while hardware work stays behind camera, print, layout, storage, and logging services.

Purimo is live as a rental product, but the interesting engineering is still under the surface. The kiosk app keeps business logic out of code-behind, routes all screen changes through a single session owner, and uses hardware interfaces so camera and printer implementations can change without rewriting ViewModels.
