#NFB18 Audio: Rein In Kiosk Navigation With Storm Interface


The automation self-service trend has been slowly rolling out to the national airlines, fast food outlets and retailers around the U.S. Sadly, most of these automated systems rely on touch screens for their general use. Chancey spoke with Nicky Shaw, U.S. Operations Manager for Storm Interface, about how businesses can augment these kiosks in a way that allows auditory feedback for navigation of the information offered on touch panels. Tune in to hear the technology in action and to get an overview of what is involved with the process in providing kiosk access. To learn more about this technology, visit the Storm Interface
Website.
