Interactive Exhibits & Touchscreen Kiosks

Kiosk: A stand alone, self contained, point of interest, education, marketing or sales tool. No matter how you look at it, a kiosk and its program 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access and links to your web site or used in a museum to provide an interactive way to learn about educational and historical content.

Interactive exhibits give visitors convenient and non-threatening access to information regarding your products - any time of the day. This popular technology is also referred to as interactive digital signage and can be accessed through single touch, dual touch or multitouch content.

Using a simple touchscreen or multi-touch interface 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 such as dual-touch and multi-touch interactivity!

Kiosks are ideal for many applications in different areas of industry:

Captivating displays at trade shows
Digital signage to promote your products or services
Tourism industry
Museums, galleries, exhibitions as interactive, digital docents
Government and community services and training
Universities: libraries, lecture theatres
Corporate foyers and lobbies as wayfinder applications or digital signage
Corporate intranets or visitor registration systems
Point of information and interactive maps or wayfinders
Education and Learning Opportunities in museums and educational facilities

Past and Present Interactive Exhibits

Digital Signage: Interactive iPad Kiosk with Stand

A local car dealership has commissioned Digital Design Services to create a digital signage application that runs on an Apple iPad, is safely protected inside of a custom-designed kiosk stand and runs 24/7 to promote their rotating brands of vehicles.

The iPad application features a menu system that leads visitors to explore the different models of vehicles using a photo gallery with "beauty shots" of the different cars. There are also touchable buttons that this interactive digital signage kiosk uses to promote the latest specials and promotions, as well as where to get more information and a map to the dealership from where the kiosk is located.

DIGITAL can create a customized iPad interactive digital signage package for your company or museum, as we have developed the full package you see at the right: iPad 2, kiosk stand, iPad kiosk enclosure and the application that runs on the iPad. The iPad can also be used with a Wi-Fi connection to have the content updated dynamically from a web portal. Contact us today for more information about our custom iPad kiosks!

Interactive Exhibit: iPad and Enclosure

An aquarium on the East Coast contacted us to create a customized iPad kiosk to demonstrate the variety of frogs and toads in the region, along with samples of their croaks and calls. We had a lot of fun with this exhibit and learned a bunch about the different sounds these little amphibians make! Using our very own iPad kiosk enclosure that protects the iPad from tampering, we designed a fun, easy-to-use exhibit for all ages!
