A native Windows desktop app — not a browser kiosk pointed at someone else's server. RocketBoothAI drives your DSLR through digiCamControl, runs its AI models on your own NVIDIA GPU, and keeps every photo on your machine.

Most AI photo booth products are web apps: the tablet captures an image, uploads it, and waits for a server to send back a result. That design has two failure points at every event — the venue's network and the vendor's servers. Neither is under your control while a queue of guests is watching.
A native Windows build removes both. The AI models sit on your SSD, run on your GPU, and produce results in about 8 seconds regardless of the venue's connection. Photos never leave the machine unless you choose to share them, which also makes the privacy conversation with corporate clients much shorter.
Running Windows also unlocks proper DSLR tethering. Through digiCamControl you get real camera control — shutter, ISO, aperture, focus — instead of the fixed webcam output most tablet-based booths are stuck with. Pair that with AI background removal and you can shoot against a plain wall and still deliver clean composites.
