skeye.vision
The requirements for a stationary kiosk are quite well-known nowadays – efficiency, cost-performance ratio, configurability in terms of payment methods, and customisation. Skeye have added a new member to their family: the skeye.vision touch information kiosk that combines high performance hardware with a flexible configuration. The basic unit consists of a high resolution 19” touchscreen and speakers which facilitate multi-media applications.

The skeye.vision touch can be customised so that it can be used to train employees; the addition of an RFID reader means staff can identify themselves to gain access to corporate documents. Headphones can also be added to facilitate individual training. With the addition of a laser scanner, the kiosk can be used as a price checker for customers. This information kiosk can also double up as a payment terminal with the addition of a card reader, receipt printer and laser scanner, or as a separate ordering terminal.

Skeye offers retailers a full selfservice solution with both self-scanning and self-checkout facilities. The new Skeye.vision touch complements these products by offering itself as a dispenser station for self-scanners, located at the entrance and exit to a supermarket. The customer can use a customer card to log in at the kiosk and would then be allocated a self-scanner, which would be returned at the end of the trip. The sum total for the scanned goods can be transmitted to the self-payment terminal by a WLAN or USB interface.

The skeye.vision touch is highly versatile and can be integrated in a wide variety of project environments.

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
