Hi Rich,
I’d be interested in this too as we would like to have such a kiosk at our nature center in downtown Wilmington Delaware where there is a Motus station (installed by the North East Motus collaboration). The simplest idea so far is to have a dedicated laptop inside the visitor center set to the Motus homepage with instructions on how to navigate it (after training the desk staff so they can help people use it). Maybe a laptop could be connected to a larger monitor so more visitors can view it at once?
For what it’s worth we came up with a short video recently explaining to people who visit our nature center what the mystery tower is and also giving instructions on how to navigate the Motus website so people can see for themselves which animals are being detected by this tower (or any other tower they are curious about). I hope it’s okay to post this here, it has been a very productive tower.

Hi Rich,
You can view the SensorGnome easily by a website, so that people can
see which detections are made if there is also a tagdatabase is
uploaded. Or the link of the station on Motus where people can see the
more validated, but not real time detections... Just soms suggestions.

The goal is to engage public visitors to our site with some simple near-realtime display of tag events and some descriptor of what MOTUS is about. Possibly a touch-screen display and very simple limited number of screens a child and parents can navigate.

Subject: [motus-wts] Public display or kiosk for a station suitable for a nature or visitor center?
Has anyone created a public display or kiosk for a MOTUS receiver station that would suitable for a visitor center? The goal is to engage public visitors to our site with some simple near-realtime display of tag events and some descriptor of what MOTUS is about. Possibly a touch-screen display and very simple limited number of screens a child and parents can navigate.
We would like to leverage any share-ware software already developed rather than rolling our own. Thanks for any leads!

Chris ... I made some solo progress on a kiosk that comes close to what I originally proposed for our nature center. I have it up and running on cheap (~$300 on ebay) Intel NUC w/Windows-10 and a Dell 24" P2418HT touchscreen ($400). I sort-of back-burnered it after the proof-of-concept stage as our Motus station install has been delayed. Its programmed in R, and uses "Shiny" running local on the PC for the dashboard (https://rstudio.github.io/shinydashboard/index.html). The NUC boots into the mozzilla 'Open Kiosk' in full-screen mode to prevent a public user from accessing anything other than the intended screens.

We do not have a timeline for this yet, but we are planning to add more capability to the API and the R package to pull summarized data at some point, which would potentially allow this type of use in a more formal way, and including some guidelines about acceptable use, and ensuring recognition of Motus and projects, etc.
Cheers!
