16/17 Welcome to Friendlyway 16/17 Welcome to friendlyway 1998-2016 Dear valued customers and readers, 1998 was an incredibly successful year. The economy was booming, and there was an exciting, electrifying atmosphere of pioneering and innovation. The “Smart” car manufacturer was producing the first Smart cars; the European Central Bank was founded; the construction contract for the ISS international space station was signed. Microsoft, Unterschleißheim In our elated mindset, we would have thought it entirely feasible for our company to turn into one of the wor- ld’s leading providers of digital self-service and electronic adscreens over the coming decade. However, even „This professional friendlyway security solution we were surprised to find out that our average annual growth has been above 60% – three times the growth of the market we work in. Today, a grand total of 50,000 friendlyway solutions are being deployed in over 49 countries. Looking back over the past decade, we are especially pleased with our never-ending whirlwind of allows us to get feedback during the event on ideas and inventions. Many of the major innovations in our field can be traced back directly to the pioneering work of friendlyway AG. In fact, some of our products have turned into blueprints for our competitors on an Tablet PC [...].„ international scale. Despite our past achievements, however, we are confident that the success story of friendlyway AG is only just beginning. There has been a veritable explosion in demand for self-service solutions and digital ad- screens in public areas. New usage scenarios are emerging that no one could have anticipated. Who would have believed it possible that one day there would be mobile digital kiosk systems and apps to accompany customers around car dealerships or museums? The concept of work desks and conference tables consis- ting of large-format touch screens would have seemed like science fiction even a few years back. It remains to be seen what comes next! We hope you will enjoy reading about our many products, services, and solutions, and we would also love to know your feedback. We will gladly respond to your questions and suggestions in person – just e-mail us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Its clean, elegant design was engineered to enclose displays in landscape or portrait orientations in a modern stainless steel finish (custom powder coat finishes are also available). The Matrix is available in Surface or Recessed models with both touch- and non- touch displays from which to choose, while the generous standard display size lends itself to easy end-user interaction, including the use of typeable, on-screen keyboards. Although it is a popular choice for commercial office spaces, it is at home in many other indoor environments, from hospital and college campuses to convention centers and hotel lobbies. Durable, flexible and customizable with a wide-variety of available integrations, the Matrix is an ideal digital kiosk solution for a wide variety of deployments. Standard size: 22”, 32”, 42”, 55” ENGAGE T-SERIES When space is at a premium but can’t come at the cost of functionality, the enGAGE T-series freestanding digital kiosk is an ideal choice. With its minimal footprint, the T was designed to offer the power and performance of a standard- sized kiosk but in a compact form factor by utilizing a touchscreen tablet computer, rather than a typical display.

  • Project 2 - Interactive Kiosk INDS 3230 (Spring 2018)
    Project 2 - Interactive Kiosk INDS 3230 (Spring 2018) Background Interactive kiosks are commonly used in many places nowadays. You can spot them at airports, galleries, shopping malls, libraries and even in restaurants where they are used as menus. They are freestanding computer terminals that have been designed for public consumption. They usually provide up to date public information, food items as well as tickets. An example of the most common kiosk is the automated teller machine (ATM). It provides a self- service option for people that would like to get their money fast or perform other types of transactions. Besides the ATM, there are other types of kiosks that range from street side booths used for selling newspapers and cigarettes to high tech kiosks such as multimedia internet kiosks. The interactive kiosks usually consist of a CPU, printer, a touch screen or keyboard and stereo speakers. There are also custom-made kiosks that are tailor made to suit the needs of people who are looking for unique and innovative ways to promote their services. Aesthetic and functional design are among key elements in an interactive kiosk. Designing it usually needs relatively larger buttons as well as navigational hierarchy compared to web design. Besides the aesthetic appeal, a good kiosk is also supposed to be ergonomic in its placement of hardware. It needs a user interface with an intuitive flow and attractive graphics that can be easily read onscreen. An interactive kiosk should also be comfortable and easy to use. For example, if an ATM has clear and easy to use instructions, it will be absolutely easy for anyone to navigate it without extra help and effort, which saves a lot of time.

P ,Dr. Rajalakshmy. P Abstract— The purpose of the paper is to analyze and explore the scope of Self-Service Technology (SST) to develop standalone kiosks which can aid humans in their day to day activities. SST has already replaced humans in various commercial and medical fields as product dispenser, ticket vending machine, information desks, remote disease diagnosis, manufacturing kiosks, navigation tool and so on. Factors determining the adaptability, acceptance, degree of usefulness and usability are analyzed using various techniques. Effectiveness of multiple-user kiosk is examined against single-user kiosk for commercial purposes. The data collected through various studies and experiments are analyzed to generate as well as refine the existing algorithms to provide precise and accurate feedback. The paper can provide a quick peek into various phases in the field of kiosk development during the last few years and its effect on various realms. The study assist technology aspirants to bridge the technological gap and develop highly efficient interactive self-service kiosk models.

Published: 1 November 2018 Abstract: The adaptation of cities to a future in which connectivity is at the service of the citizens will be a reality by creating interaction spaces and augmented urban areas. The research on this field falls within the scope of Smart Cities (SC) with the advantages that the common public spaces provide as new points for information exchange between the city, the urban furniture and their citizens. Kiosk systems have been recognized as an appropriate mean for providing event-aware and localized information to the right audience at the right time. Hence, in this article, we provide a vision of an eco-system of multifunctional urban furniture, where kiosks are part of them, designed not only for digital interaction but for sustainable use and symbolic integration into the urban environment as well. The proposed approach is conceived to drive services through digital urban nodes that facilitate tailored citizen-city communication and interaction. The central element of the designed platform consists on an intelligent digital kiosk which features a series of hardware and software components for sensing different environmental conditions, multimodal interaction with users and for conveying the captured data to the Cloud.

Put simply, wayfinding is an information system that guides people through a physical area. It’s particularly important in complex buildings or on campuses that have multiple structures for people to navigate. In large, spread-out or more complicated environments, people need more directions and visual cues to help them get to their destinations. Helping your visitors get from point A to point B quickly and easily relieves their stress, gives them a feeling of security and safety, and optimizes the overall visitor experience. Wayfinding can be a simple as verbal directions using landmarks – the Eiffel tower, a fountain in your lobby or a hospital parking garage – or traditional signs and directories that use labels and arrows to point people in the right direction.
