Ekiosk is just a short term that people use IIRC, similar to "drones" and "quadcopters".
Its just a tablet (using a samsung galaxy normally), that is encased and mounted physically. Similar to what you would see at bestbuy when window shopping but more robust.
I've seen them in McDonalds and some innovation centers in specific Airports (https://www.afar.com/magazine/the-future-of-airport-dining-is-now https://www.afar.com/magazine/the-future-of-airport-dining-i...). These restaurants utilize empty-dead space in larger central walkway aisles in airports. The one I'm thinking of is in Newark, NJ , I went to that airport on a layover to switzerland last year.
Many innovations in restaurants get passed along to prisons after the fact IMO. The demands for higher market innovations builds unique solutions that end up getting pushed to other industries such as prisons.
- chrisseaton 8y agoSo with all that talk of restaurants, Best Buy, ekiosks, innovation centres, airports, drones, window shopping, the actual idea is just 'let people call each other over the internet like the rest of society does'?
- Kagerjay 8y agoMore or less, its not an amazing technological innovation by any means its more of an adoption of business solutions existing in the market already.
