Overview

A Kiosk for our shop made from and old arcade cabinet. The idea grew from a desire to have a display case for projects. BUT some projects are unable to fit in a display case, so, how about a "digital display case". A computer that shows pictures and videos of our projects, accomplishments, and events.

Uses

Primary

The spirit of the kiosk is to show off us and our hacker-space.

• Display pictures and videos of our projects - I'll play around with the screensaver and see if I can get it to display an album. Let me know of any media you would like to be part of the project album. --Spacefelix 11:17, 28 January 2010 (CST)
