Kiosks for a theme park

[Walter Cohen]

Hello.
I work at a local theme park that wants to put in several information kiosks.
I've been tasked with determining what is available as far as hardware as
well as software.

What we want to do is have a few kiosks with touch screen capability as well
as perhaps keyboard entry to allow the following:

- obtain information and/or directions to various attractions within the park,
- sign up for/make reservation for miniature golf (see what times are available, etc),
- make reservation for lunch/dinner (see what times are available, etc)
- etc

Where would I go to research this? We'd like to be able to program the
kiosks ourselves as far as content/graphics, data entry forms, etc.

Things we think we need to look at:
-hardware (server, cabling, terminals/touch screens, keyboards)
-software (database, communication?, presentation, etc.)

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Walter

Hi Walter,

A good software toolkit, some partners with experience in back-end
systems and your environment are just some considerations. If these
are going to be outdoor kiosks then KIS should be checked with for
sure. There are couple of good options for sure.

Give me a call or email here at KIS and we'll be glad to help you.
