You can walk away without resetting the software back to the Home Menu. You choose form the options and you eventually find what you want - the location of the store. Nor can you access anything besides selecting those options made available to you.

You would immediately have noticed that only limited options are presented to you on the screen - usually using bright big buttons. So you use it to try and find what you are looking for. You spotted an Internet Kiosk with touch screen interactive function. So special Kiosk software is created to allow Kiosk owners to design custom browsing menus so that users can only access information that they are supposed to access and other info will be blocked.Īccess to the operating system and all other applications are also blocked using Kiosk software. You do not want the user to access the standard web browser because that will put too much control into the hands of the users, which can eventually lead to problems and the Kiosks will fail. When you connect a computer to the Internet, you are putting the machine at risk. The primary reason why software is needed because such Kiosks are connected to the public network - namely, the Internet. Users are allowed to interact with the Kiosks due to the software being installed in them. These special Kiosks are there to offer information.

You must have seen these Kiosks in public places such as shopping malls, financial institutions, etc. As the name suggests, special software is needed for all public Kiosks due to security reasons.
