Photo Mosaic Wall: We Are in It Together!

Produces True Mosaic Masterpieces

The algorithm behind the Photo Mosaic Wall is a global breakthrough with exclusively developed image analysis functions. The advanced technology allows you to produce true mosaic masterpieces in real-time without abuse of destructive techniques like opacity reduction, colorization and photo repetition.

Completes The Mosaic On Time, Every Time

The Photo Mosaic Wall makes sure your mosaic will be complete by the time the event ends. It maintains a steady print rate with dynamic adjustment of photo selection factors based on time-related calculations, statistics and data about the currently available photos.

Determines Ideal Photo Placements

The Photo Mosaic Wall determines the ideal placement of each photo on the mosaic wall with minimum or no destructive manipulations by applying in-depth color profiling algorithms.

Smart Photo Cropping

The Photo Mosaic Wall utilizes face detection algorithms for smart cropping when converting the aspect ratio of an original photo to an aspect ratio of a tile.

Supports Any Mosaic Size

Grid and tile sizes are fully customizable. The Photo Mosaic Wall also includes an event simulator that calculates the recommended event duration and expected media costs based on your selections.

Supports Three Operation Modes

• FIFO (First photo IN > First photo OUT): a mode that focuses on participant interaction, lets participants stick their photos right after they’re fetched.
• MAX MATCH: a mode that focuses on the ultimate quality of the final mosaic, can momentarily hold photos to allow for better matches.
• GREEN SCREEN: a mode that expects green screen photos and replaces the green background with the final photo’s pixels – leaving the subject un-manipulated!

Twitter Hashtag

Pick a fun hashtag for the event and advertise it around the venue. Guests can then take a selfie, tag it, ‘tweet’ it and have it automatically fetched by the Photo Mosaic Wall.

Instagram Account + Hashtag

You can use your company’s Instagram account to take photos of the activity, tag these photos with a unique hashtag and have them fetched automatically by the Photo Mosaic Wall.

MMS Texting

With support for automatic fetching of photos via MMS messages, guests at the event can easily text their selfies to a dedicated virtual number to have them included in the mosaic.

Activating this feature is made simple by the Photo Mosaic software. Simply input your Twilio account details and advertise the virtual number at the event to have the photos fetch automatically as they are texted.

Website Upload Form

Easily create and fully customize a website upload form to allow participants from all around the world to add their photo unto the mosaic with unique optional features:

• Sharing a title and a story about the uploaded photo
• Sending an email notification with a direct link to the uploaded photo
• Collecting email addresses of participants for marketing purposes

The upload form can be automatically added as an overlay in the online mosaic URL or embedded in your own website.

Using the upload form as a source for live event photos also gives you an opportunity to allow participants to share a story about each photo they upload. A story is added by using an optional input field in the form and shown when the uploaded mosaic photo is selected.

Once a photo is uploaded, the Photo Mosaic Software sends the participant an email notification containing a direct link to the new mosaic tile and a fully customizable message.

You can fully customize the design of the form, the input fields it presents and the email notifications sent to uploaders.

On-site Photographer

Get those professionally taken photos automatically sent from the photographer’s camera directly to the Photo Mosaic Booth. All you need is the photographer to take photos with a wireless SD card connected to the local wireless network or hotspot and you’ve got yourself professional grade photos synced with the mosaic activation in real-time.

PC-Agent

The ‘PC-Agent’ is a separate, versatile software that wirelessly connects between on-site photo sources and the Photo Mosaic Wall – fetching and forwarding freshly-taken photos from on-site hashtag printers, photo booths, photographer’s cameras, cloud storage services and more.

A fun fact about the PC-Agent is that it doesn’t require an internet connection or cables to connect between devices. All it needs is a local wireless connection or a hotspot connection to be shared between all of the devices.

Each PC-Agent also keeps track of fetched files from each individual device and sends only the latest photos to the Photo Mosaic Wall.

On-site Photo Booth (via PC-Agent)

Have any photo booths at the event? These photos can be a wonderful addition to the mosaic activation. Simply install a PC-Agent on the computer running the photo booth software, select the photos folder and it will take care of the sync automatically.

Hashtag Printer (via PC-Agent)

If you already own and use a hashtag printer service, the Photo Mosaic Wall can fetch and use these photos for the mosaic activation as well. Simply install a PC-Agent on the computer connected to the printer, select a folder to sync and the agent will take care of the rest.

Cloud Storage Services (via PC-Agent)

You can have the computer sync photos from any cloud storage service (e.g. synced folders of Google Drive/Dropbox/Microsoft OneDrive ) and the PC-Agent will automatically send them to the Photo Mosaic Wall as they come.

Digital Mosaic Mode

A digital setup of the Photo Mosaic Wall can serve as a practically effortless, yet still amazing event attraction. Simply hook up a computer with Foto Master’s Photo Mosaic Wall software to a large screen TV or projector. Setup your fetching sources (social-media and PC-Agents) and you’re done! Enjoy the show.

The Photo Mosaic Wall software will automatically transition new event photos onto their ideal location with stunning 3D animations.

If you already own a photo booth you can easily up-sale it with a digital Photo Mosaic Wall setup and almost no further efforts on your side. This holds true as well if you’re a professional photographer. Actually, it’s true even if you’re not in the event rentals business yet. It’s such a powerful and easy option.

Online Mosaic Mode

The live online mosaic is globally available online during and after the event:

• Guests can open the URL on their personal mobile device, view the stunning slideshow and input the row/column of their photo to have it tracked and focused by the slideshow. This is an amazing feature to use both during and after the event as a unique keepsake.
• Viewers from around the world can join the guests present at the event to view the mosaic creation process happening live with a unique URL created for the event and upload their own photos. This is an amazing feature for online events, for guests who couldn’t attend a physical event location and as a concept for events happening simultaneously at different places.

Physical Mosaic Mode

It’s the absolute ultimate keepsake for event hosts and creates a meaningful experience like no other for event guests. The physical setup of the Photo Mosaic Wall allows you to create stunning mosaics on physical boards ranging from small to gigantic.

Event guests can take part in the creation process, place their photos on the mosaic wall and see them become a part of the whole. The final mosaic board can be framed and kept by the event’s hosts as a souvenir that doubles as a work of art.

The Photo Mosaic Wall software also includes an ‘Event Simulator’ that helps you choose the optimal grid size, the amount of consumables you will need and their cost based on the event’s length and other factors. Read more about the ‘Event Simulator’ in the next section.

Three-Dimensional Mosaics

Harvest the power of Foto Master’s photo mosaic software to offer a top-tier entertainment service with mind-blowing three-dimensional mosaics.

The software will produce and print tiles to create a mosaic on flat outer faces of any three-dimensional object you’ll design.

The feature works by printing a mosaic grid on a custom-cut PVC board (can be done with the help of a print shop), attaching it to the outer faces of three-dimensional objects and uploading the outline to Foto Master’s photo mosaic software as a PDF.

Robust Event Simulator

The software also includes an event simulator. This section is designed to make your preparations for an event a fun & easy experience. The simulator will automatically calculate expected expenses for printing consumables, provide best practices regarding selection of grid size, tiles sizes and amounts according to the specific event’s specification.

Seamless Recovery

Foto Master’s Photo Mosaic software is designed to ensure a worry-free operation. The software automatically maintains an orderly record containing all of the event’s data.

Even in the most unexpected scenario where the computer is forced to shutdown in the middle of an event, the software will simply continue the workflow once it’s reopened as if nothing happened.

This capability is also especially useful for multi-day events where you may want to pause the mosaic generation process overnight. The software includes a dedicated button to pause and resume the operation as often and as many times as you may need.
