Touch and interactive kiosk
A visitor taps the screen and finds what they need on their own; when nobody touches it, the screen goes back to normal playback. This can be built for your installation, and we define the flow with you.
What an interactive kiosk adds
A classic signage screen shows content in turn. A touch kiosk gives the visitor a choice: it lists departments, opens product or service details and answers common questions. Hospital entrances, hotel lobbies, municipal service buildings and shops want kiosks for exactly this reason. Staff no longer have to answer the same question all day, and visitors reach the information without queuing.
How it could work with MIA
MIA already runs on Windows and Linux mini PCs and kiosks in a browser in kiosk mode, and on Android devices through the MIA Player app. An interactive kiosk could be built on top of these players: menu pages that respond to touch, back buttons, and a flow that returns to the normal program when nobody has touched the screen for a while. Content would still be managed in the panel, in folders, so when a piece of information changes you would not need to touch the kiosk design. For portrait kiosk housings, MIA's portrait layouts and rotation setting are ready today.
What we need to know to scope it
- The kiosk hardware: touch screen, PC or Android device
- Screen orientation and size
- What visitors need to find, and the menu structure
- Where the information comes from: entered in the panel or taken from another system
- How many kiosks you plan and where they will stand
With this we would sketch the flow with you on paper first, then try it on a single kiosk. Scope, timing and price are agreed for each project.
Features a kiosk would build on
