You get to talk to everyone. You do not get to see them.
It is your evening, which is exactly why you are the one who does not get to watch it. Everybody else is taking pictures — at the door, across the table, out on the steps late on — and those pictures are the only ones that exist of those moments. This is about them finding their way home to you.
As the guests arrive
It should not need explaining at the door. Whoever walks in should understand it in three seconds.
- A code on the table is enough — no app and no account.
- The guest picks pictures from their own camera roll and is done.
- Anyone who wants to stay anonymous can, and the picture still arrives.
Over dinner
This is where the pictures stop being a collection and become part of the evening.
- The guests' pictures come up on the screen while you eat.
- A quiz about the birthday guest can run between the courses.
- Guests request songs, and whoever is playing the music gets a list.
Late in the evening
The best pictures are taken after most people have put their phone away.
- Pictures that arrive at two are as welcome as the ones from seven.
- Nobody has to track anyone down to send something.
- The screen can keep showing the evening for as long as it lasts.
The day after
This is the part that otherwise disappears: the pictures exist, but scattered across fifty phones.
- Everything sits in one place, at the resolution the cameras took it in.
- Nobody has to ask in the group chat to have the pictures sent again.
- The picture you keep coming back to can be ordered as a print.
See it for yourself first
The demo is a real event, not a film of one. You stand where the guest stands, without creating anything.
