Kiosk: A stand
alone, self contained, point of interest, education, marketing or sales
tool. No matter how you look at it, a kiosk is one of the best tools that
can incorporate into your marketing and overall branding strategy. A kiosk
can also be connected to the internet to provide access and links to your
web site.
Interactive
exhibits give visitors convenient and non-threatening access to information
regarding your products - any time of the day.
Using a simple
touchscreen transforms your custom software package and the exhibit platform
into the
most intuitive user interface available.
Young, old
and everyone in between can easily navigate your exhibit to get the most
benefit out of your message. Touch-enabled software creates flexible
applications with
greater functionality.
Interactive Exhibits give
you the functionality to do almost anything, including connecting to remote
databases. The programs are custom
designed with your corporate
identity in mind and are graphically rich - with full screen image
backgrounds, graphical image buttons, video, animations, sound, and a whole
host
of exciting user friendly, engaging activities!
They are ideal
for many applications in different areas of industry:
Captivating
displays at trade shows
Tourism industry
Museums, galleries, exhibitions
Government services
Community services and training
Universities: libraries, lecture theatres
Corporate foyers and lobbies
Supermarkets
