Self-service kiosk

Self-service kiosk

The self-service kiosk or interactive kiosk, first came to prominence with the photo kiosk machines from Kodak (over 120,000 currently installed) and adoption by consumers coupled with advanced technologies such as touch-screens. Self-service kiosks are hardware devices that work in combination with self service software, allowing users to perform any number of possible transactions. The method of input is either a keyboard, touch-screen, or both. Some kiosks include card readers, ticket and receipt printers, bill and coin depositors, robitic product arrays and other more complex mechanical devices.

Intended for both consumers and business industries, benefits include ease of access, reduced transaction time, access to information and the ability to perform multiple transactions.
