July 7, 2025
From July 10–12, Pictureworks proudly took part in IAAPA Expo Asia 2025 in Shanghai — one of the region’s largest and most influential gatherings for the attractions and amusement industry. Over the course of three dynamic days, our team welcomed hundreds of attendees, partners, and industry leaders to our booth, where we unveiled our most transformative suite of AI-powered imaging technologies to date.
At the heart of our showcase was AI MotionSnap, a revolutionary tool that reimagines the traditional photo experience. Using cutting-edge AI processing, AI MotionSnap transforms static images into short, cinematic video clips — adding personality, motion, and emotion in just seconds.
Guests were invited to step in front of our camera, and with just a single photo, were instantly immersed in a beautifully stylized version of Old Shanghai — appearing in traditional attire and iconic heritage locations, without the need for physical costumes, props, or green screens. The results were stunning, emotional, and shareable — providing a glimpse into how AI can elevate storytelling through imagery.
A Full Suite of Next-Generation Imaging Solutions
Beyond AI MotionSnap, we also showcased a suite of advanced imaging innovations designed to deliver seamless, immersive photo experiences across theme parks, attractions, and tourism destinations:
Together, these solutions represent Pictureworks’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of what imaging can do — making it smarter, more immersive, and frictionless for guests.
IAAPA Expo Asia was more than just a launchpad — it was a hub of connection, discovery, and dialogue. We engaged in valuable conversations with attraction operators, technology partners, and media representatives, exploring how our imaging innovations could support their missions to elevate guest engagement.
None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible Pictureworks team — from R&D and product development to on-site coordination and demo execution. Their tireless dedication, creativity, and technical excellence brought every detail to life. We’re proud to say that behind every great photo is an even greater team.
As we reflect on a successful IAAPA Expo Asia 2025, we're more energized than ever to continue innovating at the intersection of photography, AI, and guest experience. Whether it’s through personalized storytelling, real-time enhancements, or seamless digital integration, Pictureworks is committed to reimagining how memories are made — and remembered — frame by frame.
Stay tuned for more updates as we bring our latest innovations to attractions around the world.
