Interactive Exhibits & Touchscreen Kiosks
 Kiosk: A stand
alone, self contained, point of interest, education, marketing or sales
tool. No matter how you look at it, a kiosk and its program is one of the best tools that
can incorporate into your marketing and overall branding strategy. A kiosk
can also be connected to the internet to provide access and links to your
web site.
Interactive
exhibits give visitors convenient and non-threatening access to information
regarding your products - any time of the day.
Using a simple
touchscreen or multi-touch interface transforms your custom software package and the exhibit platform
into the
most intuitive user interface available.
Young, old
and everyone in between can easily navigate your exhibit to get the most
benefit out of your message. Touch-enabled software creates flexible
applications with
greater functionality.
Interactive Exhibits give
you the functionality to do almost anything, including connecting to remote
databases. The programs are custom
designed with your corporate
identity in mind and are graphically rich - with full screen image
backgrounds, graphical image buttons, video, animations, sound, and a whole
host
of exciting user friendly, engaging activities!
They are ideal
for many applications in different areas of industry:
- Captivating
displays at trade shows
- Tourism industry
- Museums, galleries, exhibitions
- Government services
- Community services and training
- Universities: libraries, lecture theatres
- Corporate foyers and lobbies
- Supermarkets
- Corporate intranet
- Point of information

The Wisconsin Historical Society commissioned us to bring their Maritime Trails website to life in a more media-rich and interactive format. The Shipwreck kiosk contains hours of underwater video of shipwrecks, a rich narration of each of the dozens of shipwrecks on the kiosk, photo galleries, and a short biography of the ship.
There are fun learning activities for the family such as a Diving game, the Wreck of the Lost Lucerne interactive and an interactive Great Lakes Schooner tour.
In the Explorer's Tools portion, learn about the gear used for underwater archaeology and conservation. The Mission section explains what underwater archaeology is all about and the mission of preserving these historical monuments for future generations of divers to enjoy.
This program is funded by the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management under the Coastal Zone Management Act, Grant Number NA17OZ1144. |
