The world of multimedia has an attraction value that is unique and ever growing. With music, videos and pictures becoming increasingly accessible across platforms, the need to align products and business models that support or recognise multimedia products is becoming significant in modern times. Today, you can find sophisticated, touch screen kiosks with abilities to play music, presentations, video files, and other multimedia-based games across the city. And it is high-end multimedia technology that makes this possible.
Kiosks that support multimedia presentations are the highest end kiosks with immense glamour, potential, and usability. In multimedia kiosks, one can listen to a music track, watch a video, play an interactive game, or simply download a ring tone to a personal cell phone in exchange of a payment. Hence, such kiosks need to be enabled with the abilities to play high quality video and audio, ability to transfer digital files, and the ability to interact with the user for practical matters like payment. The purposes of such kiosks are generally to entertain the user, which sometimes can be a group, for a specific period of time or to enable the exchange of information or a digital product.
Multimedia kiosks are designed primarily for high profile locations like close to a computer or music superstore, in a five star hotel’s lobby, inside shopping arcades, or in the central deck of a cruise. Such kiosks generally have large ‘high definition’ screens. The size and quality of the viewing should be able to captivate the audience. The screen should also have proper viewing from all angles and a high luminosity to allow visibility even under bright light.
In 2004, Jupiter Research had estimated that digital music download sales will more than double to $270 million by year-end 2004. It also predicted that this figure will grow to about $1.7 billion by 2009. As per Strategy Analytics, another estimate by Time Magazine had put forth that sale of ring tones had reached $4.1 billion worldwide in 2004. There is a huge market in multimedia products and kiosk technologies are well equipped these days to handle such products. These undeniable statistics call for the use of multimedia kiosks to couple the advantages of kiosks in general with the thrill of multimedia.
