PictiaX® doesn't drift out of calibration. It keeps turning out premium caricatures from the first minute to the end of the event.

Here are the problems other operators keep running into, and how we built a system that won't leave you stranded at any point.
These are the problems other operators run into:
Two or three minutes per portrait makes the wait feel eternal and people lose patience.
The robot shakes, drifts out of calibration, or simply runs a poor AI that draws unevenly.
Only a handful of options, and the drawing comes out so plain that sometimes the guest does not even recognise themselves.
They depend on the venue's network and don't hold the queue: if it drops, whatever was running is lost.
Setting up your event or waking the robot up needs a degree in computing.
If you haven't got a compatible computer, they make you buy another one.
Every one of those problems has an answer built into the system. Here's what changes.
Around 60 seconds per portrait, and you pick the speed: more detail when it's quiet and more people per hour when the queue builds.
The whole route is worked out before the pen touches the paper, in one continuous line. It doesn't shake and it doesn't drift halfway through the event.
Nine styles to choose from per event, and the catalogue grows with every release. The same robot works for a wedding and for a trade show.
You can tether to your phone, and if the network drops for a moment the queue is saved and whatever is pending retries on its own. No portrait is lost.
The event is created in two steps from the browser. No programs to install and no local networks to build.
The portal is web based and opens on the kit you already have. There's no compulsory computer inside the pack.
WindowsmacOSTabletPhone The pack the market treats as standard includes one particular laptop, and its software only runs there. PictiaX® doesn't work that way.
Four steps, and the guest only takes part in the first two.
From their own phone. They scan a QR and take the photo without queueing in front of the robot.
They see how it'll look. On their screen, before sending it off to be drawn. Anyone who doesn't like it retakes it there, not with the paper already in their hand.
Sent off to be drawn. The caricature is generated instantly and the arm draws it in pen on the paper.
On paper, and digital if they want. They leave with the original in their hand, and if they ask for it a copy lands in their inbox too.
Robot, software forever, 500 portraits and both bases. No monthly fee.
Match the sheet to the event, the client or the campaign. The logo, the colours and the message are printed on the paper, and the robot draws the portrait within that design.
Illustrative example: the logo on both sheets is our own in two colours, because we don't publish any client's. The portraits are genuine PictiaX® output, untouched.
When you create each event you choose what you want out of it, and that changes what the guest experiences and what you walk away with. It's the difference between being paid to entertain and being paid to capture.
Photo → Portrait
The guest takes the photo and walks off with their portrait. Nothing is asked of them and nothing of theirs is stored.
Photo → Details → Portrait
The guest leaves their name and email to receive the portrait. They leave it because they want the drawing, not because you asked.
Photo → Details → Questions → Portrait → Report
Your client builds the form they want (company, job title, city) and adds their own questions with their own options. When the event ends, the data is ready to download and they see the numbers.
A robot that draws nicely competes for the entertainment budget, which is small and is the first thing cut. A robot that also hands over qualified contacts and a report competes for the marketing budget, which is a different one and pays for itself. The machine is the same: what changes is what you hand your client the next morning.
The guest opts in before taking part and the data belongs to your client, not to us. And for each event you can set a cap on portraits and a PICTICOINS budget: that way one event doesn't eat another one's balance. How the data is handled is in the privacy policy. See the privacy policy.
The same robot works for a wedding and for a tech trade show, because the style is chosen event by event.

Write To PictiaX®Around 60 seconds, and you pick the speed: more detail when it's quiet and more people per hour when the queue builds.
No. The system arrives assembled and calibrated, plugs into a socket and is run from the browser. Setting up takes about ten minutes.
On both. The portal is web based and opens on Windows, Mac, tablet or phone. PictiaX® Bridge, the only thing you install, exists for Windows and for macOS.
You carry on working. Generating the portrait needs a connection, like any system that uses AI, but you don't depend on the venue's wifi: you can tether to your phone, and if the network drops for a moment the queue is saved and whatever is pending retries on its own when it comes back. No portrait is lost and nothing has to be started again.
One PICTICOIN per portrait, from €0.10, and it drops with volume. There's no monthly fee: you top up when you work.
Yes. PictiaX® runs on a range of drawing arm models. Write to us with the model and your event volume and we'll send you a quote.
The queue sets the limit, not the robot: at 60 seconds per portrait that's about sixty an hour per arm, and one event can run more than one arm.
Tell us what events you run and we'll tell you how it fits, what it costs and when you'd have it.
