AR Mirror Signature

Guests sign on a mirror while a camera behind it films the ink and their expression; the clip is tied to their print and plays when a phone scans it.

How it differs

Why pick it

  • Recorded in-camera: a Canon camera films the signing natively, so ink edges and facial detail keep the camera's own quality.
  • Finished automatically: each clip gets the template's intro, outro, frame and music, with no editing on site.
  • The clip lives on the print: the photo carries an AR code, and scanning it in WeChat or Alipay plays the signature clip on the photo.
  • Included with LenSign: choose the LenSign unit for a complete setup, or buy just the software if you are putting your own kit together.

Compared with

  • vsStandard

    Standard's Live Photo also plays motion when the print is scanned, but it is a short clip captured automatically with the photo. AR Mirror Signature adds native camera recording, a set clip length and intro and outro templates; Standard adds AI background removal and phone upload.

  • vsPro

    Pro adds holographic AR photos, AI video and custom style training, and both include AI photos; AR Mirror Signature adds native camera recording, a set clip length and video templates. Choose Pro for AI effects and AR Mirror Signature for signature clips.

  • vsPhoto wall

    The photo wall spreads photos and videos across big screens, TVs and web pages on a timeline but records nothing itself; AR Mirror Signature records the signing and builds the AR. For signature clips across several screens on a timeline, add the photo wall, which can sync videos from the event album.

Not for, or watch out

  • Check your camera first: some Canon bodies, such as the 200D II, cannot record the signature natively, so send us your model to confirm before ordering.
  • Open or backlit venues you cannot shade: the mirror picks up reflections and bright backgrounds wash out the ink, so the booth needs to be enclosed.

Where it fits

  • Event check-in: guests sign on the mirror as they arrive and leave with a print carrying an AR code.
  • Product launches, corporate galas and client appreciation events, where every guest gets a clip of their own signing.
  • Signing keepsakes at high-end weddings, major exhibitions, music festivals and sporting events.
  • Signing booths inside exhibition halls, set up as an enclosed, shaded space away from hall lights and bright backgrounds.

How it runs on site

  1. Set up the event

    In the PepeFoto console, create the event album, switch on AR and lay out the signature print with its AR code.

  2. Camera and lights

    Mount the camera behind the mirror, add front lights for the ink and the face, and set the camera up as the guide describes.

  3. Set the clip length

    In the booth software, set how long each clip runs (8–10 seconds is recommended) and turn on audio if you want room sound.

  4. Test before doors open

    Have a colleague sign in full from the guest's spot and check the camera's actual recording; open only when the ink and the face are both sharp.

  5. Guests sign

    The guest signs on the mirror while the camera records; the software applies the template and prints the photo with its AR code.

  6. Scan and watch

    Guests scan the code on the print in WeChat or Alipay, the signature clip plays on the photo, and they can save it to their phone.

Common questions

No app is needed. In our tests, iPhones played it in WeChat, Alipay and the browser; the Android phones we tested needed WeChat or Alipay, as their built-in browsers could not open it.
You set the length; 8–10 seconds is recommended, enough for the whole signing without using too much storage. Building the AR takes about 20 seconds, as listed on the credits page.
Yes, with some work on site: an enclosed, shaded booth, the camera's native recording, front lighting and a smaller aperture for more depth of field. Before doors open, have a colleague sign in full and check the actual recording.
