Ideum’s vertical touchscreen kiosk is a ruggedized and highly customizable option for exhibits and interactive digital signage.For those looking to enhance visitor interaction, the Ideum Portrait touchscreen kiosk offers a versatile and high-performance solution that uses the latest touch technology. The 55-inch, 4K Ultra HD, vertically oriented digital kiosk is designed for use in public spaces such as museums, retail environments, trade shows, and corporate settings. It has even found a home in many major league sports venues around North America.

Designed for Touch and Motion Interaction

Standing at just over 6 feet tall, the Portrait is made to draw attention from a distance. It was first added to Ideum’s lineup in 2016 as a freestanding digital kiosk and a video wall alternative. The Portrait has evolved beyond this more limited design in the eight years since its introduction. The latest model includes a 55-inch 4K commercial LG display with a 3M/TES capacitive touch sensor that delivers exceptional clarity and durability and can handle high-traffic environments effortlessly. The touchscreen kiosk is powered by an Intel® Core™ processor and NVIDIA dedicated graphics, ensuring seamless multitasking and high-quality graphics for demanding applications. 

Like all of our touch tables and displays, the Portrait is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum. It is built to withstand heavy usage while maintaining a sleek and modern design. It is designed and built in the USA in our studio in Corrales, New Mexico. All of the components are sourced from local and industry-leading manufacturers, making the Portrait the most powerful and resilient digital kiosk of its kind.

Add-Ons and Customization

As with our other touch tables and displays, the Portrait has a range of add-ons and customization options. You can choose from an endless range of custom powder coat colors and finishes to match the kiosk's environment. The base also lends itself to a custom logo, making it perfect for trade shows, retail environments, and corporate settings.

It is unique among our hardware because it features an optional camera for advanced motion tracking, enabling touchless interactions and augmented reality applications. This makes it perfect for interactive installations, educational exhibits, and retail applications.

Custom Software Development

Whether used in the standard configuration or with any (or all) of the above add-ons and customizations, the Portrait provides the opportunity to create eye-catching and engaging interactives. Ideum’s Creative Services team specializes in developing custom applications that utilize the vertical screen, developing applications such as informative maps and wayfinding, interactive memorials, and motion-based game exhibits. We also work with partners to provide the durable hardware they need to add to their engaging interactives.

Interactive Digital Kiosk Use Cases

The Portrait is designed for versatility. It’s perfect for creating immersive, interactive exhibits in museums or for engaging customers at retail locations and trade shows. Its robust hardware and multiple touchpoints make it ideal for applications that require multi-user functionality, while the optional motion-tracking capabilities elevate the user experience by adding a layer of interactivity​. This cutting-edge kiosk not only enhances user engagement but also offers a forward-looking approach to interactive technology, making it a standout in any space.
