2026: The Year of AI Booths That Transform

By now, you’ve seen the AI hype cycle spin a few times over.

AI filters. AI headshots. AI backgrounds.
But in 2026, we’re not chasing novelty. We’re creating transformative brand experiences that perform.

Because AI that just looks cool? That was 2025.

This year, AI activations are about on-theme, on-brand, and off-the-charts impact, all powered by strategic tech that turns attendees into characters, creators, and walking content machines.

Welcome to the era of AI booths that do more.

AI Booths That Turn Guests Into The Story

Imagine this:
Your guest steps into the booth, and walks out as a superhero. A vintage album cover. A character from your new game or film.

They’re not just taking a photo.
They’re being transformed, in a way that’s custom to your campaign and instantly shareable.

What’s delivered:

AI style transfer tailored to your campaign

Custom branded overlays and effects

Data capture built into every experience

Real-time previews + instant social sharing

Content that drives engagement and tells your brand story

The result?

Longer lines.

Higher share rates.

And branded UGC that doesn’t feel branded.

When Innovation Meets Celebration: The Mirror Booth at Forty Under 40

We launched our brand-new Mirror Booth at the Forty Under 40 Awards, and it didn’t just work. It wowed.

We collaborated with the event planners to celebrate the region’s top rising business leaders with an experience that felt as elevated as the award itself.

Guests stepped in front of the interactive mirror
Were prompted with a custom AI journey we built from scratch
And watched themselves reimagined in Ottawa, year 2150, featuring iconic local landmarks like Parliament Hill and OC Transpo, redesigned for the future

Futuristic portraits were delivered instantly to their phones for sharing… and trust us, they did.

The result? A high-end AI experience that felt futuristic and personal.
A perfectly executed blend of innovation, celebration, and measurable brand impact.

And that’s exactly the standard for 2026.

What’s Driving Results Right Now

Across dozens of AI-driven activations, we’ve seen the same throughline:

Transformation > Template
Generic filters don’t cut it anymore. Guests want to see themselves in the story. Our booths make that happen, from AI-generated magazine covers to red carpet gamified video FX.

Personalization that maps to the campaign
Every effect, background, and prompt is designed to fit your theme. Futuristic Ottawa? Done. Superhero launch? Easy. Retro pop album for your fashion drop? Let’s go.

Instant content + instant shareability
No delays. No broken links. Guests walk away with a branded, custom piece of content that’s social-ready, and your post-event dashboard will show you exactly how it performed.

Let’s build your next AI-powered moment whether it’s futuristic, cinematic,or nostalgic… it will always be unforgettable with us.
