Good Morning,

Currently we are using several all-in-one touchscreen computers mounted in bezels/stanchions made in-house to provide access to many pages of images and labels.  We have hired people to do the coding and other steps necessary  to "lock down" the computer for security and make images with imbedded hot-spots, allowing visitors to select specific artifacts within a photo for more information on that particular artifact.  Digital labels, content density, elimination of the majority of paper labels-this is the nirvana we seek.

For our next installation, we wish to do the same, with the addition of making a web site available for viewing, with most of its links and features working.  Due to several circumstances, we prefer to have the web site hosted on the computer's hard drive, rather than access it from the web.  I'd prefer that the site pages be treated just like the other images or text pages as we've done in the past rather than rely on our patchy internet access.

I've been reading in the archives where some of you skilled people have assembled such kiosks from beer cans and arduino boards, and I'm seriously impressed.  Unfortunately, we have neither the in-house skill nor the time to learn them.  So here's the question....

Has anybody used proprietary kiosk software to accomplish the ends we're talking about?  I've seen several and they seem to have the feature set we're looking for, with the possible exception of the web site being hosted on the computer hard drive.  Any guidance would be appreciated, I'm sure you folks have done this, please let me know how you did it!  And any preferences as to software and providers is particularly to be desired.

Thanks in advance,
