What is an Interactive Kiosk?
An interactive kiosk is any computer-like device deployed in a public venue to give people selfservice access to products and services.
Kiosks are typically placed in retail stores, airports, libraries, company cafeterias,
and other places where personal computers are not available but self-service applications can provide some benefit.
Like the PC at your home or office,
a kiosk may provide internet access for web surfing and email, viewing of multimedia files, and access to various software applications.
Unlike a typical PC, though, a kiosk typically performs only a few specific tasks, is designed
to be used by many different people, and is often optimized for remote control and management.
Popular examples of interactive kiosk applications include automated check-in systems
in airports, interactive gift registries in retail stores, and pay-per-use computers in Webmask.
