ORLANDO, FL -- Keeping up with trends new and retrospective, Digital Centre is readying two new photobooth themes for display at the upcoming International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions Expo trade show here. The event is set for Nov. 19 through 22 at the Orange County Convention Centre.

Digital Centre reports that it has obtained a license from Sanrio for its internationally popular Hello Kitty theme, and the company plans to introduce the first results of this alliance at IAAPA.

A new range of photobooths will be unveiled at IAAPA Orlando. One of them will be programmed with exclusive Hello Kitty software and emblazoned with Hello Kitty designs. The software will feature DC's total share functionality, enabling customers to share their Hello Kitty Photos across more than eight digital platforms, ranging from Facebook and Twitter through email and SMS text messaging to Telegram, which can transmit text, graphics and VoiP speech messages.

Also rolling out at IAAPA will be a streamlined reimagination of the small, colorful sticker-sized photobooth prints that spread from Japan across the world two decades ago. Stickers have become popular again and DC is ready for them.

The turn-of-the-century photo sticker phenomenon that took the market by storm was based on sets of 16 miniature stickers bearing portraits of the customer; DC recalls that "people were standing in long lines to get their own." However, the only way to share them was to cut a set in half. With today's improved communications and imaging technology, much more flexibility is attainable.

"Now it's easy to share pictures over social networks," DC pointed out. And the new DC photobooth dispenses two sets of 12 stickers, plus four big ones, so there are enough to share and more ways to do it. DC's contemporary sticker photobooth also offers enhancements like photo frame designs for special occasions. Those enhancements were difficult and costly in 2000, but they are so no longer.

Established in 1997, Digital Centre has grown into a multinational company with factories and offices in the United States and Europe, and a steady eye on Asia, The company will exhibit its extensive line, including the new sticker and Hello Kitty models, in booths #329 and #429 at the IAAPA Expo.
