digital kiosk

Interactive information booth

A digital kiosk is a freestanding electronic terminal in a public or commercial space, typically with a touchscreen for self-service tasks: checking in for flights, ordering food, printing tickets, or browsing information.

The word kiosk originally meant a small outdoor structure; digital kiosks retain the idea of a compact, accessible station but replace human attendants with interactive screens.
