Dicoll explains how kiosk technology can add to the museum experience

Dicoll Kiosk
Museums need to ensure that they convey information to their audience as accurately and efficiently as possible. The information also needs to be communicated in a way that both educates and develops audience interest.
 
Over many years, both paid and free to enter tourist attractions, especially the major city museums have continuously seen an increasing number of visitors through their exhibitions.
 
Ensuring the visitor experience is enhanced as much as possible is still an ongoing process. It has become apparent that interactive museum kiosks have helped museums to provide a more enjoyable learning experience which in turn has helped to provide the museum with better value for money for their visitors.
 
Over the years, Dicoll has discovered that the most informative way of delivering information is through touchscreen LCD and touch screen kiosk technology. This hands-on interactive format can be utilised to deliver a multitude of useful educational information through a single interactive information touch screen kiosk solution.
 
Kiosk technology allows museums to communicate with visitors via multiple applications whilst combining audio and video playback through interactive kiosk terminals, delivering key information in an exciting and informative way that is accessible to children and adults alike.
 
Interactive touch screen kiosks within museums offer a way of improving the visitor experience by delivering greater interactive information about a particular exhibit or exhibition. The kiosks could, for example, show textual information about a specific subject, as well as looped videos and changing images to further enhance visitor understanding of the exhibit.

Usability Workshop @ KEX 2012

Handspiel
What can self-service terminals learn from the success of the iPad? The Usability Expert Workshop will explore ways of developing self-service solutions capable of inspiring the same fanatical reaction as Apple’s iconic product. On the 7th of March this year, hundreds of people were out on the streets, waiting to be amongst the first to get their hands on the latest iPad iteration. They had camped out all night with their thermoses in the freezing cold. Why are so many people willing to do this in front of every Apple store, but not for a new check-in terminal at the airport, train station, or shopping mall? What’s behind the buzz, and how can we encourage a similar reaction to self-service solutions? Through expert contributions and together with you, we will seek to answer these questions and explore future ways to get there. KIOSK EUROPE and Handspiel will present the Usability Expert Workshop as part of KIOSK EUROPE EXPO 2012, which runs from 12-13 June. The Usability Workshop will take place on Wednesday, 13th June from 10:30-13:30. Numbers are limited, so secure your place now by booking online at www.kioskeurope-expo.com
