Outdoor kiosks require a different approach to indoor kiosks and need to be designed specifically for outdoor deployment in public areas. Overall a backyard kiosk needs to be suitable for operation in any urban setting and should therefore be fully weather proof, highly robust, readable and sturdy.
The screen should be designed for high glare settings and be made from effective material to be anti-vandal to make it readable in the dark or when the sun is shining and yob-proof. The screen should also use toughened glass and a protection bezel and needs to be ideal for use with gloved hands.
