Face Place models include the Scene Machine, the Royal and Sapphire and the Photo2Go. Apple also pioneered the integration of green-screen technology into booths.

“Allen Weisberg is the consummate New York industry protagonist," said AMOA-NY president Ken Goldberg of Emerson Amusement.

“Apple Industries' machine designs have become blockbuster earners for operators around the country and this New York company shows no signs of slowing down.

“Allen's vision has not only saved a classic coin-op tradition from extinction, but it has also turned the photo booth into a sought-after destination that appeals to all generations and transcends cultural boundaries."
