# Kiosk Design

## Kiosk Design Principles

1. **No instructions needed.** Interface must be self-explanatory.
2. **Large touch targets.** 60px minimum (public use, imprecise touch).
3. **Session timeout.** Reset after 60-120s of inactivity.
4. **Accessibility.** Height-adjustable or multi-height touchpoints.
5. **Gloves/dirty fingers.** Touch must work with imprecise input.

## Patterns
- Start screen: large CTA or "Touch to Begin."
- Language selection on first screen.
- Maximum 3-5 steps to complete task.
- Confirmation screen with receipt option.
- "Cancel" always visible.

## Safety
- Auto-clear personal data on session end.
- No keyboard for sensitive data (use PIN pad patterns).
- Physical privacy screen for payment information.
- Emergency contact/help button always accessible.
