Retail Store Interactive Kiosk

It's pretty cool that people going to a store to look for clothing could get a bit of that online shopping feel before actually stepping into the store; however, I'm not crazy about the idea that it would try to guess what size and relevant stuff to you. What would be cool instead is that ability to search specific size items as you would online. The ability to see the item tags on a map of the store is really helpful in finding what you need. This is a really advanced system (as they said it needs an i7 processor) but it shows how far you could really go with interactive kiosks.

Smart Digital Retail Kiosk

The user interface of this kiosk or at least the version being demoed here seems to be marketed towards people buying stuff for a super bowl party. Now ignoring this aspect this works as a very simple digital recipe book based on a shopping list that you scan in with a QR code. It seems to respond very well to touch and the pages are formatted to fit on this object meant to look like a clipboard pulling a more traditional feel into the digital.

OGLE Kiosk Demo

The interface of the kiosk in this video would be very effective for a school. The overall layout stays the same while the buttons and interactive "body" stays the same. It's actually really reminiscent of web design with how simple and user friendly it is.

TIO :: Flash Kiosk Interface Demo

This is a pretty simple Kiosk for paying bills Much more complex than what we'll be doing in class but still something that should be kept in mind because of its simplicity. A lot of the transitions can be done in flash easily, and the layout is more complex than what I had in mind, but simple enough to be doable.

Guitar Symphony

Another song that falls into the "I would totally hear this during an epic or climatic moment in a movie" category. This song is a simple loop of the same parts without much variation but it still works because the guitars which change add to the music in the background.

Face to Face Garageband Song

This piece from garageband gives me the feel of a climatic moment in an action filled movie. The orchestra elements repeat throughout the entire piece while there are subtle changes throughout.The levels are nice the audio doesn't become too intense to the point there's clipping so the producer was very careful with his levels.
