Introduced in April of this year, our fabricated interactive museum display the Reader Rail Kiosk has already become a highlight of our products. The wood and solid surface materials make the multitouch museum kiosk unique among our lineup of aluminum powder-coated touch tables. Its ultrawide 5K UHD display is reflective of the form factor already used in institutions worldwide, but the interactive element allows for a new approach to a familiar museum signage tool.
Like all of our touch tables and kiosks, the Reader Rail Kiosk includes an integrated computer with a powerful Intel Core processor and NVIDIA graphics. Its 34” display features a unique 5K resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels, giving it the highest pixel density out of all of our large format touch displays. Featuring 40 touch points, the kiosk can be used by multiple users at one time, and has built-in support for universal touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom.
While the majority of our product lineup is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, the Reader Rail Kiosk is different. The top frame is made of solid surface material, which is both visually appealing and very durable. The chassis is made of painted wood, with an aluminum toe kick and vents. With simple push-button operation, the kiosk is easy to set up and use, and the locking enclosures ensure the components are kept secure for use in public spaces. All of this is designed, cut, and assembled in our fabrication studio at the heart of Corrales, New Mexico.
With standard color options of black or white, and an infinite number of custom options, the Reader Rail Kiosk can be made to blend seamlessly with whatever space it's placed in, complementing the environment without taking away focus from the subject matter.
Designed for use as interactive museum signage, this unique touch kiosk has found a home in a variety of museums, galleries, and science centers across the US. In the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, a custom gray Reader Rail is used as a part of the Dueling Dinosaurs Appearance Interactive, allowing users to control and change the appearance of a Triceratops projection.
A visit to Oklahoma City will bring you to two of these interactive museum displays. The first is used in conjunction with projected videos at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s Rodeo Gallery. The second is just down the street at the Science Museum Oklahoma, hosting software developed by our partners at Clark Planetarium.
The Reader Rail is a key component of the Witnessing Justice at Nuremberg exhibit at the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum, hosting scrapbooks and albums with personal stories from those in the Nuremberg trials. Other places you can find the Reader Rail Kiosk include the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA, and the Intel Museum in Santa Clara, CA.
Both black and white versions of the Reader Rail Kiosk are in stock and ready to ship. Please contact our sales group for more information.
