Hi folks, A colleague of mind is working with a museum on a technology plan and looking for advice about Kiosk Software.
Any thoughts? Thanks ------------------------- Does anyone have any recommendations for setting up informational kiosks? I'm working with an arts organization that wants to set up interactive kiosks in their lounge that will allow guests to look at information, listen to music, view interactive art exhibits, leave feedback and signup for newsletters etc. My gut suggestion is that the easiest thing to do will be to buy some workstations and set it up on a Web platform. It seems that it would be the easiest way to have the flexibility they're looking for. My main concern is the security of this setup, and I'm wondering if there are simplified kiosk operating systems available that limit functionality and access. By default these would be iMacs, because they're a mac based organization and I think the new iMacs would give a nice look and feel. My main concern is how to secure them from an OS/software perspective, not so much a physical perspective. We're certainly not tied to the Mac platform, and if anyone has any good suggestions for other kiosk setups I'm open to hearing about them, perhaps a stripped down Web/based OS? Everything I've looked at so far was both expensive and not particularly likely to meet all their needs. Any recommendations appreciated. ------------------- -----Original Message----- From: quigley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 8:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Photo services?
