Summary
Join us in the PhotoRobot Showroom for a video demo on how PhotoRobot systems capture multiple outputs in a single click. We demonstrate the one-click automation that fully captures, post-processes, and produces web-ready imagery. In under 2 minutes, we capture a hero image, a stills gallery, 360 spin, and 3D model output. The demo showcases the full software integration of studio lights, cameras, robots, and post production for high levels of productivity. In fact, while competing systems might take around one minute to produce 6 images, PhotoRobot does the same in 20 seconds. Not only that, it produces in addition to stills, 360 spins, and 3D models. Then, thanks to software presets, production workflows are easily repeatable by anyone with minimal training. It requires only a click to run full robotized capture sequences, post-processing, and publishing operations. There are saveable preset categories as well, meaning that teams can save settings for photographing similar types of objects. See for yourself just how game-changing PhotoRobot automation can be, from saving time to standardizing production.

00:00 Hello, and welcome to the PhotoRobot Showroom. My name is Ethan. I'm PhotoRobot’s professional AI Studio Assistant and Virtual Tour Guide. Join me, with our real-life product photographer Erik, and we'll show you how to get all of your product photos in a single click. We’re talking about capturing multiple, automatically post-processed and web-ready assets: the hero image, complete product galleries, 360 spins, and 3D models.
00:26 Take for example this piece of footwear. Each product in the system will have corresponding folders in the software related to different outputs. Then, within the software, we have attached to each folder PhotoRobot Presets, which act as instructions for the photoshoot. Presets tell our software how to automate everything from the robots to product rotation, camera elevation & capture, lighting, angles, and post-processing parameters. This means all we have to do is place the product on our turntable before telling our system to do the rest.
00:55 Now, thanks to laser-guided object positioning, which turns off automatically during photography, finding the absolute center of rotation is quick and easy. When the product is placed, a simple scan of the barcode starts the process.
01:07 See our photography sequence begin, and, after a single rotation of the turntable, each folder for different outputs begins filling up with images. We get everything from the hero image to multiple marketing angles, and our 360 spin.
01:20 But, exactly how long did this take for PhotoRobot? Let's start with a comparison. Many manufacturers deliver approximately 6 images with a transparent background in about one minute. Not bad, right? Well, for PhotoRobot, think again. In today’s demo, our hero image, along with 6 additional angles, took PhotoRobot a total of 15 seconds to capture. Add another approximately 20 seconds to capture the entire series of photos for our 360 spin. All of these, we can post-process, and publish online, in under one minute thanks to the magic of PhotoRobot Presets. Meanwhile, the system continues shooting without interruption, allowing us to capture an additional 72 frames in 30 seconds to generate a 3D model.
02:00 This means that, in 90 seconds, we have: the hero image, multiple marketing angles, our detailed shots, and a 360 spin – all ready for immediate publishing online, while a 3D model is being processed at the same time. The 3D model might take upwards of 2 or 3 minutes to generate, but everything else is ready nearly as fast as you finish snapping photos. It’s really that quick. And, it’s that simple.
02:23 Of course, if you want a more complete product portfolio, including additional detail shots and close-ups, you can take these by hand while other photos are processed. All photos are automatically cropped & centered, with tools for Optical Character Recognition, ChromaKey masking, and tons of other operations.
02:39 Just have a look at the links in the description of this video to learn more. You’ll find today’s example outputs, along with resources on all of the tools and automation that make PhotoRobot so unique. Thank you for watching.
