Interactive Kiosks cont.



These are just a few examples of interactive kiosks that have been personalised and altered to fit their purpose in the chosen area of interactivity.

Interactive kiosks are used for many different purposes, including advertising, information, and art work. A kiosk can be a good way to get people involved with a product or a piece of art as the user is in control of whether they use the kiosk, want to use it for, and what information they take away from the kiosk.

These kiosks are far more commonly seen nowadays from supermarkets and shopping centres, to art galleries and launch parties for products. Many kiosks are not interactive but are just screens which are used to display information, but even these are an effective and innovative way of advertising in shop windows. An example of these advertising screens can be seen in any woolworths store where they have many screen displaying JML adverts to explain and demonstrate the use of a variety of products. These screens attract customers to stop and watch which makes them slightly interactive as the consumer feels they have been told about the product fully which, in turn, helps them make an informed decision on whether to purchase or not.
