Photobooth vs. 360 Videobooth: do you need different software?

Not necessarily, but you do need to make sure the software is optimized for both formats if you use them.

Traditional photobooths work with static captures or photo sequences, while 360 videobooths require greater processing power, video editing, slow-motion effects, music, and real-time watermarking.

If you work with both formats, the ideal approach is to use a solution integrated into a single platform to avoid operational headaches.
