Interactive booth: from a visitor action to content
A simple action can request a product clip or change a holding screen. A clear interaction needs rules for what the system accepts and what it shows while a clip is playing.
- Documented input: selection action
- Identified content request
- Acceptance rule during the session
- AV player and return to holding content
Define one action and a visible response
Start with one option: view presentation. Identify the clip and holding background without asking for visitor names, email, images, or voice. This proposed interaction does not require personal data.
Confirm the input model, interface, and data generated on activation and release with the supplier. A held button may generate more than one change; the rundown must define which change represents a request. Do not infer electrical characteristics or wiring.
What happens when someone acts again
| Situation | Decision to agree | Visible response |
|---|---|---|
| Holding screen | Accept a valid request | Indicate that content is starting |
| Clip playing | Ignore, notify, or reserve another selection | Clear message without an unintended restart |
| Repeated press | Identify whether it belongs to the same request | Avoid multiplying openings |
| Clip unavailable | Retain holding content and notify operator | Manual alternative or agreed graphic |
| Clip ends | Confirm exit and enable interaction again | Holding background |
Avoid an unlimited queue of old actions. For a busy booth, agree whether a new selection replaces a pending one or requires operator intervention.
Choose a platform after identifying the interface
The path can be expressed through show-control tasks and variables or a conceptual message flow. A brand alone does not establish compatibility with the button and player. Review model, version, command, available status, and behavior when reopening the project.
A demonstration with fictional data can clarify intent. Control emulation and a recorded message do not establish physical sensor operation or playback on the screen.
Prepare a discussion and rehearsal
- Tell us what the visitor should see and each content duration, even if the button has not been selected.
- Define booth staffing and available manual control if interaction fails.
- Propose checks for short, held, and repeated presses, busy content, and return to holding.
- In a later authorized rehearsal, record received input, accepted request, and observed result separately.
This example covers AV content selection. Access control, visitor circulation, and safety functions require their own systems and procedures.
