Countertop or Full Kiosk Enclosure
Which Kiosk Type Is Right for Your Application?
In the interactive public-access environment, Elo is the touchmonitor
manufacturer of choice. But should that choice of kiosk be a freestanding
enclosure or a countertop interactive display? Elo offers solutions for both.
Elo’s line of touchmonitors includes cathode ray tube (CRT) or liquid
crystal display (LCD) displays in a range of sizes and enclosures for
countertop or enclosure use. (For help choosing between LCDs and
CRTs, see pages 18 and 19.)
Countertop Interactive Displays: The New Flexible
Kiosk
Countertop interactive displays are perfect for a wide range of
applications in which cost, mobility, and flexibility are top criteria.
Some typical applications include the following:
• Countertop interactive catalog for e-commerce
• Sales tool for staff
• Video/audio preview of CDs and videos
• Self-service station
• Brand-driven multimedia promotions
• Frequent shopper/affinity programs
• Surveys and market research
Mobility, Security, and Space
Freestanding enclosures are usually fixed and occupy a dedicated
amount of floor space. They lack the mobility of the more compact
countertop interactive displays, which can easily be moved around to
meet changes in floor-space layout.
A freestanding enclosure is ideal for unsupervised public use, providing
all the benefits of the application while ensuring equipment security.
A freestanding kiosk can be left unattended around the clock, whereas
countertop displays are limited to areas that are at least semi-supervised.
Countertop displays can fit into 25 to 50 percent of the footprint of a
freestanding enclosure. They come packaged in different form factors
designed to be placed on existing retail display fixtures—shelving,
countertops, a customer service desk, aisle end cap displays—or
incorporated into other merchandising displays to expand interactive
opportunities.
