In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a kiosk with Raspberry PI, mounted with a touchscreen display. Welcoming guests in stores or exibitions can require a lot of effort when peak hours are in progress. Usually, informative stands help managing guests with self-service devices, giving the first info and reducing guests […]
