For a moment, do not think of your kiosk merely as an automated sales or marketing agent. Even though your kiosk might have the vital agenda of â€sales’, for a moment, think of it just as a tool of interaction. Interaction that can have long term impacts of your brand and business image. For the few minutes that a user spends at your kiosk, think of the experience he goes through, the impression he builds, and the opinion he is about to carry forward. This is exactly why designing the right interface for interaction becomes extremely significant in kiosks. Kiosks are designed to make the user operate privately, take decisions individually, and choose independently. Such moments are precious in terms of marketing your brand. A well thought out interface can leave an impression that can make the user come back again and again or refer it to another friend. A sloppy experience might make him leave the terminal for ever. When you develop the interface of interaction for your kiosks, invest adequate time and thoughts. Do not assume that every user will read through all you provide on the screen or will have the patience to go to a page you want them to. An easy way out is to think in terms of a user. Identify your primary user group and their possible objectives. Also try to analyse the psyche of the users, their preferences, their choices, and habits. This information greatly helps to make the design appropriate and relevant. Below, we suggest five fundamental and significant questions in the development of an interface for a kiosk. 1.Who shall be my primary users and tertiary users? 2.What are the possible objectives of these users and whether you can serve each of them at the kiosk? 3.Which are the necessary logical flows of information for providing the service and which are the secondary information that might interest him? 4.What is the shortest and smartest manner leading the user to a transaction? 5.What are the factors that might frustrate or lower his levels of interest? Based on the above, you would be able to develop as well as assess a particular design that is about to serve your customers. While it is safe to assume that in most cases kiosk users are aware of the product or information they are seeking for, one must also design for a novice or absolutely new customer. Innovative interfaces can have a huge impact on the image and goodwill of your business. Hence, it is wise to deliberate on the design, layout, colour scheme, styles, animation, and sounds associated with the entire experience. It is also wise to simulate your kiosk operations repeatedly before deployment.
