Wayfinding & kiosksWayfinding kiosks that get people to a destination
Test destination names, accessible routes and closed-path alternatives.
Decision · field check · acceptanceWayfinding & kiosks
Navigation succeeds when the visitor can reach a destination. Plan a consistent naming system, accessible interaction, a maintained map and a fallback when the kiosk or network is unavailable. Coordinate digital directions with physical signs.
Three questions before a specification
- Where will a visitor stand, approach and turn?
- Who maintains names, closures and routes?
- What is the alternative for someone unable to use the touchscreen?
What to bring to the discussion
A marked-up plan of the space, a representative content sample and an operating owner. List the conditions to inspect. Ask for a site survey or demonstration to support the specification.
Next stepDestinations, routes and bilingual instructions.
Use these questions in a project brief, then attach the verified site details.
