Here are a few interesting sources: Anatomy of a kiosk http://www.thekioskfactory.com/anatomyof.html You could take the components and look at issues with individual components. For example, will there be enough heat dissipation through the enclosure in the summer? What are the access point for vandals (glue in the slots)? What about wheelchairs and parallax on the screen? What about partially sighted users? You could take and deconstruct the kiosk and list the problems with each component. Keep in mind that maintainability is important as is security since these are public.
What is a kiosk? (with notes on design) http://blogs.msdn.com/embedded/archive/2005/03/15/396528.aspx Check out www.hcibib.org, a wonderful compilation of tens of thousands of HCI articles. I typed in Kiosk and got several dozen hits. www.hcibib.org Research from the University of Maryland http://www.cs.umd.edu/Library/TRs/CS-TR-4293/CS-TR-4293.pdf An article and site with some usability nuggets http://www.kioskmarketplace.com/article.php?id=11794&prc=334 You might want to search on "touchscreen". There are some good design guidelines on touchscreens that are relevant to kiosk design. Forrester has written some papers on kiosk and did Best and Worst reviews, but those reports cost around $400 if memory serves me right. Postal kiosks might be a source of inspiration. IBM published some work regarding the design of postal kiosks. I think that there might be a paper at this year's UPA on kiosk design though I'll have to check on that.
