information kiosks
Public help terminals
Information kiosks are freestanding terminals in public spaces that provide information or services to users.
Found in airports, malls, museums, and government buildings, they typically feature touchscreens for wayfinding, ticketing, or basic transactions: The information kiosk showed a map of the terminal.
The plural appears far more often than the singular, since institutions deploy them in multiples.
