Cheese Effects deploys AI comic photo booth system in Singapore

In Singapore, Cheese Effects, a photo booth company, has recently introduced a groundbreaking AI-powered comic photo booth system. This innovative technology allows guests to become the star of their own personalized comic adventure, transforming a standard photo booth snapshot into a unique storytelling experience.

The AI Comic Storyboard Photo Booth was officially launched in July 2026, representing Cheese Effects' first foray into AI-powered personalization. By combining an in-house-developed workflow with AI capabilities, the booth creates guest-led storyboards in mere seconds. According to a recent rise in AI adoption among Singapore SMEs, from 4.2% in 2023 to 14.5% in 2024, the technology is gaining traction in the local market.

Cheese Effects recognized the growing demand for AI-driven booth concepts tailored for events, campaigns, and brands. To meet this need, they developed an original storyboard format, where guests star in their own comic storyline. The company found no direct equivalent of this format in the local market at the time of launch.

The AI Comic Storyboard Photo Booth employs a three-layer workflow to generate the comic experience. First, it identifies the main character in the photo. Next, it generates a comic-style version of the guest, ensuring a seamless integration into the storyline. Finally, the original character is replaced with the guest, producing a final storyboard in approximately 10 to 20 seconds.

Clients have the flexibility to customize various aspects of the finished product, including the storyline, layout, artwork, characters, AI prompts, branding, and visual direction. This level of customization allows for nearly limitless possibilities, enabling brands and event organizers to create highly personalized and memorable guest experiences.

Cheese Effects' Founder, Alson Ong, expressed excitement about the new offering, stating that the goal was to move beyond simple image transformations and make guests an integral part of the story. The AI Comic Storyboard Photo Booth not only offers a unique and engaging experience for guests but also reflects Cheese Effects' ongoing expansion into interactive, AI-powered event experiences.
