Main Exhibition Contents

Self-Photo Print for PIXUS・SELPHY (PoC in progress)

This is an Android app that allows easy provision of a self-shooting and printing service, similar to a photo booth. With intuitive operability, visitors can enjoy self-shooting and printing. It features an original frame function, allowing for a more special print by switching designs to match seasonal events or campaigns. Additionally, during the printing wait time, any video can be played, which can be used to promote facilities or events and disseminate brand messages. Since it can be configured with commercially available equipment, installation is smooth.

We are currently seeking corporate customers to cooperate in the PoC for this solution. For details, please inquire via 'CONTACT' on the page below.

Random Print for SELPHY (PoC in progress)

This is an Android app exclusively for the mini photo printer 'SELPHY CP1500'. Tapping the START button on the app plays a random animation, and the randomly selected photo is printed in high quality from the 'SELPHY CP1500'. This unpredictable experience creates an exciting entertainment value. Furthermore, it contributes to solving inventory management issues as no prior preparation of printed materials or blind packaging is required.

Collaboration Example: Message from the SKY (MIHATSU Co., Ltd.)

MIHATSU Co., Ltd. operates a self-service paid service at the 'Sky Promenade' observation deck in front of Nagoya Station, combining 'Self-Print', which allows customers to easily print photos from their smartphones, with a 'Digital Time Capsule', where the photo data used for printing and an arbitrary message are sent via email one year later. This mechanism allows visitors to enjoy photo printing on the spot, and the 'Digital Time Capsule' adds an engaging element.
