Hi Tamsen, Brian Kennedy touched on this in his MCN talk about ditching Flash based interactives in favor of HTML based ones. In his talk (and maybe he'll chime in here?) he shared this toolkit he built for locking it down so people don't just surf the web/ the device doesn't auto populate information, etc: https://github.com/scimusmn/stele
I've forked it for myself, but because interactives aren't specifically part of my job, I haven't had a chance to dig in to it really deeply...yet...but it might be useful for you?

We are looking for one approximately 50". We'd also need to lock-down the "website". For iPads I do this with a combination of KioskPro and Guided Access. But these are Apple apps. Is there equivalent software for large touch monitors? Does this list have any brand suggestions and/or specification suggestions such as: LED/LCD, output/input must-haves, what to avoid, what must be included? >From scanning the MCN archives I only really saw mention of Elo monitors. Any other current recommendations?
