digital kiosks

Public interactive screens

Digital kiosks are freestanding computer terminals in public spaces that let users perform tasks without human assistance—checking in for flights, ordering food, buying tickets, or finding directions in a mall.

The touchscreen interface makes them accessible to most users.

The museum installed digital kiosks throughout the exhibit halls.
