Breeze Booth (iPad+iPhone) 3.1.1 is released today.
We are also releasing updates to the Breeze Booth companion apps, Event Editor v3.1.1, Breeze Hub v1.2.6.3 and Camera Controller v1.1.1.
Breeze Booth 3.1.1 also adds an option to copy profiles from another event, improves performance and reliability when syncing files to Breeze Hub, and fixes an issue sending emails with cc addresses via Hub.
Delight the bride and groom with a collection of audio messages from their guests.
As soon as Breeze users could apply background removal to live view, they wanted to try the effect of different backgrounds.
Trying the effect of different backgrounds on the Booth ready screen
Use either the new Overlay & Background Suffixes or profiles for this effect.
Try on your own iPad/iPhone – use the AI Background Removal Choices QR code to download this event into Booth 3.1.1 on your own device.
Breeze Booth 3.1 introduced live view with background removal on the photo, GIF and video ready screens.
Booth 3.1.1 takes this further by applying background and overlay images to live view when using local background removal.
New overlay/background suffixes provide a way to dynamically select screen overlays and backgrounds. They can also be used to dynamically select which screen is displayed.
Booth’s interface now can be adapted during each session to reflect guests answers to survey questions.
