Phototron Project

The Phototron Project started as a Christmas gift for my wife — a DIY photobooth inspired by a discontinued Polaroid machine.
It’s grown into a full hardware and software project: a custom-built booth and the software that powers it.

This page collects the full story:

💻 Part 3 – The Brains of the Booth

From PiBooth to Phototron: why the software needed to evolve, what we’ve built so far, and where it’s headed.
