Outdoor Digital Signage Kiosk

Temperature Kiosk
A temperature kiosk will scan the user with its infrared camera and record their temperature. If the user provides a high temperature, the kiosk will alert them. Some temperature scanners can be linked to the door access allowing you to block entry to anyone who gives a high reading.
The WHO recommends that temperature screening should be part of the package of measures to prevent at the workplace. Preventing potentially infected people from entering your workspace adds an extra layer of protection from the disease. Another feature of some temperature kiosks is the ability to validate the vaccination status of your employees and visitors. The temperature kiosks do this by asking the user to present their vaccine pass as they sign into the building on the device.

Self-Service Kiosk
A self-service kiosk is a device that allows the user to directly interact with a company without the need to wait for an employee. They can be utilized in a variety of places but common examples include buying tickets at a train station or restaurants offering a quick payment system. The intention is to speed the payment process up and reduce queue sizes.
The relevant department found that retailers offering self-service options saw a 40% decrease in customer wait times. To use a self-service touch screen kiosk, you simply approach the screen, touch the available option you want to select and then complete the payment process.
In the healthcare industry self-service kiosks are used as a way of checking in for an appointment. A big benefit here is that a kiosk reduces the need for face-to-face interactions.

Information Kiosks
As the name suggests, an information kiosk is a device that provides the user with information. The key is that this information is clear and digestible for your users. Although the information should be easy to understand it should also be detailed enough to not require an advisor. When deciding on an information kiosk the main question you'll need to answer is if you need interactivity.
An interactive screen lets your users navigate different pages to find a range of information. A non-interactive kiosk will just display the information you have set. Tourist information points may utilize an interactive kiosk allowing the user to choose the type of information to be shown, for example, nearby restaurants or activities. While a healthcare center could utilize a non-interactive information kiosk by having important information about the practice listed on the screen.

Internet Kiosks
Often found in public waiting areas or the reception of hotels, these kiosks provide the user with access to the internet. For a fee, the user will be able to browse the web for a set period at one of these terminals. Once that time has expired the system will lock and the user will need to deposit an additional fee to continue to have access. Due to the nature of being connected to the internet, these types of kiosks do have the threat of cyber-attacks and hackers.
It is important to ensure that your internet kiosks have some form of antispyware and antivirus protection installed. These will alert you to any attempts to hack your system or steal personal user information. With the kiosk having access to the internet, it can send updates on software or hardware issues it has detected. Maintenance is easily managed because the kiosk will notify the designated technician when there is a problem.

Advertisement Standing Displays
Sometimes referred to as advertising kiosks or totems, these standing displays are a way of presenting your digital signage. Advertisement displays are versatile in where they can be placed, from outside on the street or inside a shopping center.
By using a digital signage system, you can create advertisement content and schedule what appears on your display. If you are looking to promote a new product you can show that off on a display inside your store to draw more customers to that product. While a totem outside your store could display an offer you have to help attract more customers into the store.
A recent development with advertisement displays is the integration with mobile technology. Mobile internet traffic accounts for almost 55 percent of total web traffic. The best way to do this would be to include a QR code. Customers scanning this with their phone would be taken to the product page for the item which the display was showing. They could then purchase that item there and then without having to even enter your store or search for your website.

Wayfinding Kiosks
The purpose of a wayfinding kiosk is to help the user locate where they are and find how to get to their desired location. This could be done by showing a simple 2D map highlighting the current location. In this modeling system, different floors are represented by individual colors.
A more advanced option and the most common choice is 2.5D. This shows the map from a bird's eye view while providing more depth to the image. 2.5D can give a clearer image of the location and better represents the difference in floors. Common places to find a Wayfinding kiosk include large shopping centers where your customers are looking for a specific shop and can use the wayfinding kiosk to get directions. Airports are also usually home to these types of kiosks as less frequent flyers will struggle to navigate the airport on their own. Wayfinding kiosks can be a useful tool in keeping your customers around, particularly in a retail setting. 80% of customers prefer to receive assistance in navigating to an item using either their mobile device or a kiosk.
