First Look for Touchscreen

Here's my latest design for the project. Its the slider for the touchscreen. The idea is that you place your finger on the slider at the bottom to scroll (sideways) through the digital posters. Pat liked this design as an initial concept so I'm going to spend some time jazzing it up and working on some of my own posters before the design presentation in december.

An Interactive kiosk is a computer terminal that provides information access via electronic methods. Interactive kiosks sometimes resemble telephone booths, but can also be used while sitting on a bench or chair. Interactive kiosks are typically placed in high foot traffic settings such as hotel lobbies or airports.

Integration of technology allows kiosks to perform a wide range of functions, evolving into self-service kiosks. For example, kiosks may enable users to enter a public utility bill account number in order to perform an online transaction, or collect cash in exchange for merchandise. Customised components such as coin hoppers, bill acceptors, card readers and thermal printers enable kiosks to meet the owner's specialised needs.
