Why is the IV better than a normal touch screen kiosk?
The IV might not always be a better solution for you than a typical
touch screen kiosk. They are distinctly different machines, each with
their own advantages. Here are a few reasons why the IV works so well
with the public:
- The IV is better than a touch screen because it's not simply a
touch screen. The IV's Wow Factor means it can be designed as a
centerpiece exhibit for your gallery, especially dramatic in multiple
or curved configurations.
- It's not a kiosk. The IV doesn't have the "kiosk" look and feel, as
though you're using an Automated Teller Machine or checking in for a
flight. Using the IV doesn't feel like you are "using a computer." The
physical action of moving the monitor encourages interaction and
creates an experience that can be enjoyed by several people at one
time.
- Intuitive controls: Users don't need to learn an interface. Kids
and grandparents that have never used a computer can instantly use the
IV.
- A natural sense of "navigational geography" that matches the way
people find their way around in the real world. For example if the IV
is showing the contents of a book, the position of the monitor
literally represents the location in the book. It is easy to remember
where you came from and where you are going.
- The IV has a touch screen built in, so it can handle and enhance existing touch screen content.
