Photo Booth at IAA Mobility — an Automotive Lead Engine for Summit and Open Space
IAA Mobility in Munich has rewritten the rules: a hard split between B2B decision-makers at the Summit (fairgrounds) and mobility enthusiasts in the Open Space (Munich city centre). OEMs and tier-1 suppliers need live marketing that plays to both poles. UpReach terminals provide the bridge: AI places visitors photorealistically in the cockpit of the concept car or virtually on the e-bike — with no green screen. At the Summit, the terminal captures qualified B2B leads for the CRM. In the Open Space, the same hardware creates viral social-media reach with UTM tracking.
More than 200 B2B brands from across Europe trust UpReach — from agencies to enterprise corporations.
The operational lever at IAA Mobility
The mobility industry is in deep transition. At the IAA, anyone who just parks metal on a stand loses to brands that stage software experiences. UpReach terminals link physical presence with a digital one: an AI face swap into a Formula E car is not a gimmick but a sharp way to lodge your brand in the decision-maker's memory. The animations run smoothly with no perceptible latency, and lead capture and instant print keep running even when the fair Wi-Fi is overloaded.
Three levers for IAA Mobility
Your newest model is safely behind glass? Visitors still get in — virtually. With 2D-to-3D depth effects, the AI places the visitor in the vehicle cockpit, on the racetrack or in front of photorealistic mobility concepts — no physical green screen, no production effort.
With a click in the cloud CMS: at the Summit, the terminal requires company name and industry for the lead pipeline. In the Open Space, the system switches to gamification and fast QR-code sharing for maximum earned media value — the same hardware, switched remotely, with no technician on site.
Among polished bodywork, consumer hardware has no place. The UpReach system line (CE, ISO 9001) in industrial metal defers to the design language of your automotive brand — a full wrap in your corporate colours is available, including in the Mirror Pro format.
Proven scenarios for IAA Mobility (B2B and B2C)
On the Munich fairgrounds, the terminal captures B2B leads: an engineer from a supplier takes a keepsake photo, fills in the GDPR form at the touchscreen, and the REST API sends the lead straight into Salesforce — follow-up while still at the fair, no business-card chaos.
In Munich city centre, passers-by use the terminal with no registration hurdle. The AI focus is on entertainment (GlamBot slow motion, 360-degree video). UTM parameters in the share link measure performance on TikTok and Instagram right in the cloud dashboard.
Mobility groups are actively hunting for IT talent. The terminal produces high-quality business portraits with your logo. Visitors share the branded images on LinkedIn and present the company as a modern employer — organic recruiting reach with no media budget.
Why UpReach for IAA Mobility
Our own photo-booth software
A multi-tenant CMS: CI updates, GDPR text and lead-form configurations are deployed remotely. The touch interface, AI backgrounds and QR-code microsite run fully white-label — no UpReach logo in the output. No technician on site for switching zones between Summit and Open Space.
The latest generation of AI features
Face swap, background removal, 2D-to-3D depth effects and GlamBot video are built into our own software and added as modular, credit-based options. Lead capture and instant print keep running even when the fair Wi-Fi is overloaded; the AI image processing renders GDPR-compliant via the cloud as soon as the connection is back.
Two-zone logistics without IT overhead
UpReach delivers terminals to the fairgrounds (Summit) and Munich city centre (Open Space) at the same time. The cloud dashboard controls both zones centrally. No duplicated IT overhead — every configuration, all lead data and all analytics in one dashboard.

Delivery to Summit and Open Space
UpReach delivers terminals to the Messe München site (Summit) and Munich city centre (Open Space) at the same time. The terminals arrive pre-configured in flight cases — set up, plug in the power, done. With a full-service booking, UpReach technicians handle the setup at both locations and check every API connection before the start. Recommended lead time for CI configuration: 4–6 weeks.
On-site support during the IAA
The cloud dashboard monitors both zones in real time — system status, paper levels and lead volumes. Lead capture and instant print keep running even when the city-centre Wi-Fi is overloaded: leads are buffered on the device and sync automatically by API, while the AI image processing renders GDPR-compliant via the cloud once the connection returns. Via the cloud CMS, you switch from B2B to B2C in the evening — with no on-site visit.

FAQ
Yes. UpReach delivers terminals to the Messe München site and Munich city centre at the same time. With a full-service booking, UpReach technicians set up both locations. The cloud dashboard controls both zones centrally — all lead data and all analytics in one interface.
Are the terminals suitable for outdoor use in the Open Space?
Outdoors, the standard terminals (Pro V1, Mirror Pro) need cover overhead and a 230 V socket. The display brightness is sufficient for bright tents and pavilions. For full exposure in the open air, the outdoor variant is available.
The cloud dashboard reports share rate, organic reach and the calculated earned media value per zone and channel (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok). Every sharing link carries UTM parameters. The export delivers a machine-readable report for management.
With a click in the cloud CMS — no technician on site needed. At the Summit, the system runs a hard B2B lead form (company name, industry, CRM export). In the Open Space, you switch to gamification and QR-code sharing, and the terminal adopts the new setup immediately.
Pro V1 from €6,990 net, Mirror Pro from €9,990 net — each including the software ecosystem for 12 months; AI modules are added as modular, credit-based options. Rental for single events on request. All prices excl. VAT. On the two-year IAA cycle, buying pays off against renting quickly.
All AI processing (face swap, background removal) runs GDPR-compliant via the cloud — GDPR-compliant handling of biometric data. Biometric raw data is deleted after rendering (a GDPR-compliant deletion workflow). No biometric remote monitoring means no high-risk classification under the EU AI Act. A data processing agreement and data protection documentation are available for compliance teams on request.
