What Is Interactive Digital Signage
Interactive digital signage is where touch screen displays are used to interact and engage with a given audience. Screens can range from small tablets right up to large outdoor kiosks.
Users are able to utilise touch screen technology to engage audiences through a variety of features and functions. Actions such as touching or swiping will change what content the user sees on screen.
A member of the digital signage hardware family, touch screen digital signage can greatly increase the usability of your screens. For example, turn a static menu into a browsable food hub, or an outdated map into a live navigation assistant.


How Does Interactive Digital Signage Work
Touch screen digital signage works in the same way as your standard digital signage screens, apart from the fact they have added touch ability.
Simply install your screens in your desired location and connect to a digital signage media player.
Once connected to the internet, use your favourite digital signage software to control, create, and schedule the content. Screen content is made interactive by placing various “touch widgets” over the content the user wants to make interactive. Each touch widget interaction will lead to new content the user has requested.

What Do I Need For Interactive Digital Signage
Touch screen digital signage systems work in the same way as any other digital signage solution. You will need software, a media player, and a screen. The only difference is that the screen has touch or interactive capabilities.
For more complex touch screen systems a more powerful media player may be required.


Interactive Digital Signage Software
Bringing Your Screens To Life.
For your interactive screens project to function, you will need some digital signage software that has touch capabilities. This software allows users to create, upload, and control content for their interactive digital signage displays.
In most cases, it is as simple as enabling touch functionality on various widgets or areas on your content. When a user touches one of these areas, it will load a new piece of content set by the user. For example, a “live weather” button could lead to a page showing the live weather when pressed.

Interactive Digital Signage Software
For each touch screen project, there are a large number of different screen options available.
Depending on your project requirements you will need a different type of screen. The most popular interactive digital displays include tablets, freestanding digital kiosks, podium displays, and touch screen commercial displays.
