There are plenty of different apps for iOS and Android that will allow you to create interactive ‘presentations’ that can be run on kiosks or you can use something like Kiosk Pro (http://www.kioskproapp.com) and author your content as HTML and lock down the device.
In terms of devices, define affordable :-). If you can stretch to iPads then you can get the new iPad for $329. You can get Android tablets cheaper but just make sure you test them out first and see if they work for what you want. Quality varies widely but check AliExpress for some options - https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-Android-tablet.html?site=glo&initiative_id=SB_20170402135023&SearchText=Android+tablet&CatId=200216621&isrefine=y Cheers Glen Barnes Founder/CEO e: g...@mytoursapp.com m: +64 (21) 0429 471 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 22:06:19 +0000 > From: Molly Wilmoth <molly.wilm...@wshs.wa.gov> > To: "mcn-l@mcn.edu" <mcn-l@mcn.edu> > Subject: [MCN-L] Platform for accessing text, images and videos in > gallery spaces > Message-ID: > <82bdc482c4d9b44eb7d491ab8e019b8b54659...@pac0023.wshs.local> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Greetings! > > I'm brand new to the listserv but was directed by a colleague who says you > are the folks in the know! > > Our exhibit spaces are rather outdated.
