Kiosk Website Guideline

 

To share my experience and help you think proactively for any such application in future , here is the quick know-how.

 

1.       Disable Zoom in touch screen- This will be disturb UX.

2.       Hide vertical scroll bar.

3.       Disabled left and right touch scroll to avoid back and forward history.

4.       Screen resolution of Kiosk.

5.       Attract Screen, if in case kiosk site is offline. This attract screen should be screen saver. This screen saver is set of content managed screens so that we can display some information about specials or products.

6.       Kiosk refresh after 2 mins. So that it fetch timely feeds from CMS system.

7.       For Kiosk refresh ensure browser cache is disabled. Real Time Data

8.       For Kiosk Refresh mode ensure server side caching is disabled. Real Time Data .need Assessment so as to enable this based on more static or persistent content.

9.       For touch device there is concept called Pinch Zoom and Flicker pen touch. Check the setting for touch device. This comes handy.

10.   Access restriction to Kiosk Application hosted in cloud.

 

That’s it! J

Tips and Tricks :Kiosk Mode For IE

Sometimes we get a requirement to put our webform in Kiosk and end-users are not suppose to disturb the AS-IS state hence to restrict that there is option build in with windows.
All we have enabled

Run-> iexplorer -k website url

To start Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode and start Internet Explorer with the Microsoft Web site, click Start, point to Run, and then type iexplore -k www.microsoft.com in the Open box.

You can lock down these subversive key combinations using restrictions in the Registry. Launch RegEdit from the Start menu's Run dialog; navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\

Policies\Microsoft Internet Explorer\Restrictions; and find or create each of the following DWORD values, setting its data to 1 to enable the restriction:

• NoBrowserClose (disables closing the browser window)

• NoBrowserContextMenu (disables right-click context menu)

• NoFileOpen (disables use of Ctrl-O or Ctrl-L to launch an arbitrary URL)

• NoOpenInNewWnd (disables opening a link in a new window via Ctrl-N or Shift-click)
