County of Swain

• Kiosk Models: Document Kiosk
• Industry: Museum / Cultural
• Product: Compact Power Kiosk (wall-mounted)
• Software: Custom interactive interface

Background

The County of Swain wanted a kiosk with custom interface software for their history museum, designed specifically for children. The goal was an interactive station kids could use on their own to explore the museum, print badges, and share photo postcards. They partnered with Advanced Kiosks to build it.

Business Challenge

• The museum wanted an interactive experience aimed at children, not a general-audience kiosk
• Kids needed to reach and use the kiosk comfortably, which meant mounting it at their height
• The software had to be engaging and easy enough for young visitors to navigate independently
• The museum wanted custom features (badge printing, photo postcards) tailored to their exhibits

Solutions Delivered

Advanced Kiosks created custom software for Compact Power wall-mounted kiosks, designed for a children’s audience. Mounting the kiosks lower on the wall puts them within easy reach for kids, who can interact with the engaging, informative software on their own.

The kiosk includes:

• Custom interface software built specifically for the museum’s needs
• An easy-to-use web camera for photo features
• Badge printing and photo postcard sharing for young visitors
• Accessibility for all ages, mounted at a child-friendly height
• Pre-installed kiosk software with a custom interface design

Outcome

The museum now offers young visitors a hands-on, interactive way to explore its history exhibits, one built at their height and designed for them to use independently. Printing badges and sharing photo postcards turns a museum visit into something kids can take part in and take home.

For the County of Swain, the custom software and child-accessible mounting create an engaging educational experience tailored to their audience, encouraging younger visitors to connect with local history.
