Hi folks. I'm trying to build a photo booth, and running into some troubles finding a way to implement a scare in the middle. The booth building I can do no problem, it's the photo app I'm having trouble with.
The general idea I'm after is not so different from a diy photo booth type thing built around a touch-screen tablet with webcam. General progression looks like this: Start button, countdown, picture, repeat for a second pic, a scare pops up, and one last picture taken quickly for the reaction, and the pics then upload for retrieval with the option to email the pics to the user. I do not want this to be a manned attraction, as I'm always short on help.
I can find some decent regular photobooth apps, some horror type photo manipulation apps, some scary prank apps, but nothing that will do what I'm after. I've tried building one myself in Microsoft's Project Siena, but it seems very limited. Somewhere in there I might be able to build this app, but I'm stuck. Dowloaded Visual Studio Express, but that seems beyond me. Coding isn't exactly my strong suit (uh, I can do basic html as needed), and I'm having trouble finding tutorials for how to build something like this.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
