cost of touch screen monitors for museums brands

I get this question from friends and clients fairly regularly. What kind of recommendations do you have for a touch screen in an exhibit for my budget?

I originally posted this on June 21, 2017, last week I did a presentation at the New Mexico Association of Museums conference and wanted embed my presentation. I"ve also updated the content to include some more ideas.

The prices below do not include the prices of software development because that depends on the complexity of your project and who you hire. Here are a price ranges to give you an idea:

Pros: Basically free - this is even in a price point where decently well-off hobbyists can get in on the action. They"re also easy to purchase and replace if something happens to them.

Cons: The Pi is a wonderful thing for the price, but it isn"t a super powerful computer. You won"t be able to run really fancy, graphically intensive programs on this. Also, the screen isn"t big - only 7" diagonal. Finally, I am not sure I"m ready to guarantee that this is museum quality hardware that can withstand children banging on it every day.

Cons: I"ve heard a lot bad about using them in exhibits when they"re mounted. They tend to overheat and break down. They"re really not made for that kind of thing. Also has a small screen.

Project Ideas: So they tend to work pretty well as reference guides for docents, but that can also backfire. I"ve been to museums where instead of interfacing with visitors, the docents have their nose down on the tablet and are just reading stuff to them. It"s pretty silly, frankly. Visitors are also capable of Googling things.

Pros: Small and inexpensive. Great for streaming media, also can purchase in Enterprise Mode if you want to manage a bunch of them or unlock other options. They"re compatible with some touchscreens, but you"re likely better off using something else if you"re trying to create a touchscreen kiosk program.

Project Ideas: One particular project that I know this is being used for is the ViewSpace theater in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. The old computer died, so now they"re streaming the content using a Chromebox.

Cons: I"ve seen these get broken into a lot in exhibits. Apparently there are some better ways to lock them down now, though. Small screen. If you want to have your app run on it, you have to go through the Apple Store even if you don"t want it to run anywhere else.

Cons: Make sure you build a good case for this thing. I"ve seen people break into these with a flash drive if you don"t block all the ports. Also not a good choice if you want a huge screen.

Project Ideas: Nice educational games, video viewers, etc. Maybe an app that uses computer vision with the built-in webcam that some of them have. At this point, the only limit is your imagination. :-)

Pros: This is a really unique piece of hardware that allows you to include physical pieces in your interactive. You also get two touchscreens for the price of one, which is a good deal. There are free apps that you can download from the Sprout marketplace that are pretty neat - there"s a measuring app, an app that allows you to create stop-motion videos, one that lets you convert currency, and many more.

Cons: Sometimes difficult to work with. On the first version, the hardware was a little finicky. I had to have one of the touch mats replaced, but on the other hand, the support staff was really friendly and mailed the parts right away. Hopefully they"ve improved that. Also, the buttons to turn it on and off are in a really conspicuous place, so you should be mindful of how you use it in your space.

Project Ideas: 3D building applications, walk visitors through assembling items, Allow visitors to walk a figurine through a 3D model of a historical site - lots of cool stuff. Also see Sim Pueblo

Cost: Touch screens range from ~$250 for the smallish ones (in which case you should just buy an all-in-one PC) to $1600 for a 55" to $11k for an 80" one!

There are a lot of options for computers. You can get any tower to work with these, or you can look at a small form-factor computer like an Intel NUC. Ballparks - $500 - $800

Pros: You can get exactly what you need to run really awesome software that makes a huge visual impact. They"re also flat screens, so you have a lot of options for embedding it in the wall and making a seamless experience.

Interactive Projections are one of those wonderful and flashy fun things that people love. One of the great things about them is that they don"t really need to cost as much as you think - you just need a projector, a computer, and a 3D camera.

Cons: Software cost will be a little bit higher than a typical touchscreen because you have to spend more time on the installation and testing. Don"t expect to get perfect touch capability unless you buy an expensive all-in-one setup. This is better for more experiential interactives. Also, make sure you plan this for a dark room - if you want to put it somewhere near a window, expect to pay A LOT of money for a projector!

Project Ideas: One of my favorite things I"ve seen with this is an interactive sandbox (shown above). You move the sand around with your hands and then it projects a topographical map on it. A fun program that my colleagues at Highlands did for a museum in Las Cruces is a thing where you step on dinosaur footprints to learn more about what dinosar made them. All kinds of good stuff!

A short-throw projector. You want a short-throw projector so you can mount it close to the wall and not worry about people"s shadows on the projection. I found a bunch of them on B&H photo. Look in to find the ones that are supposed to last a long time. The last thing you want to do is buy a cheap one and have it burn out in a month.

Pros: A lot of software possibilities. Some tables are safe for drinks, and Ideum"s even support tangible objects. They allow for a lot of interaction between visitors, also.

Cons: Expensive, debatable how long they last. I"ve heard that they aren"t projected to last much more than 3 years, but you can replace the touch screen if you need to.

If you really want to make a statement and put something huge in your space, think about a touch wall. They"re not as limited by light as a projection, and they"ll definitely turn heads. These can either be purchased as straight - up video or as touchscreens.

Cost: Goes up exponentially! You"re looking at $50k - 100k for the screens alone. You also need to get a beefy computer with a really beefy graphics card to be able to handle running a program on multiple screens simultaneously.

Cons: Very expensive! You"ll need to talk to a company that specializes in them. For my research, I talked to Planar Technology and they were helpful and great even though they knew I couldn"t buy anything. They make professional grade products, which is important. You don"t want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a product that will break or not be able to hold up to the rigors of a museum environment.

To help guide and educate visitors through their current exhibits, MCA have integrated the InTouch 22” and 32” touch screens throughout the museum. Every detail of the museum’s appearance is important, and the attractive pure flat edge-to-edge industrial glass and brushed silver trim fit nicely into the building’s newly renovated style.

We’re proudly Australian owned and operated, offering local support and expert advice. With extensive experience delivering and supporting hardware solutions to some of Australia’s leading companies, our local manufacturing strategy gives us full control of the quality, timing and  customisation which ensures a smooth roll-out every time. Many of Australia’s leading museums have chosen to work with InTouch for their touch screen solutions.

Visitors may have appreciated looking, and yet their opportunities to interact, discover, learn and engage were limited. But todaytouch screen solutionsand touch screen kiosks allow museum visitors to interact with exhibitions in ways that could only be imagined. At InTouch we joke with our museum customers that they can now add a new sign “LOOK & DO TOUCH”

Amuseum touch screen kioskis a powerful and effective tool for assisting museum visitors in finding their way to the exhibitions that they are interested in as well as making them aware of other exhibitions that they may not be aware of.

Galleries and museums are now creating virtual touch screen exhibitions where expensive, rare and fragile artefacts, artwork and displays are now presented virtually.

A touch screen display in a museum can bring an exhibit to life in a way that a printed display cannot. Add a map, picture, video, sound or narration. Engage them at a whole new level.

Easy and space effective provision of information in different formats that is suitable for different audiences and demographics (whether they be young children, school groups, adults or experts).

Many manufacturers change their models’ form factor regularly. This means that if you purchase a monitor this year, and then another one next year they are unlikely to match. If you have built one into a display it may not fit. If one breaks, you are likely to get a different look. But at InTouch we rarely change the look and feel.

We back this up with a 3 year 24 x 7 warranty which means that you can expect to run your touch screen monitor day and night, without turning it off, for three years without a problem.

Ask us about one of our customers in Melbourne who ran an exhibition with over 100 screens for over 3 years without a single touch screen failure. (even with daily busloads of school students engaging with them)

Many museums throughout Australia have entrusted InTouch to supply the commercial touch screens for their projects. In 2015 the ACMI in Melbourne worked with us over a 4 year period to rollout an extensive mixture of touch screens throughout their museum – these included 15”, 19”, 22”, 32” and 42” sizes.  To date there has been a 0% failure rate on all screens and the customer is thrilled with the outcome.

Another exciting project was Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) – they integrated a mix of 22” and 32” into the museum with their major renovation in 2018. The InTouch commercial touch screens were a perfect addition to the newly renovated style with their attractive pure flat edge-to-edge glass and silver trim.

The use of multi touch interactive displays have become widespread in the past few years. They were once seen as devices only used by organizations who had transformed themselves digitally and wanted to live on the technological forefront. Today, interactive LED displays are used in many more applications such as schools, retail environments, hotels, studios, museums, conference centers and so on. In other words, wherever one wants to engage with the public, an interactive LED screen is placed.

First developed in the 1980s, this technology was intended to allow designers to create graphics with their fingers. Gradually, the technology evolved and touchscreens became popular on PDAs, smartphones, computers and tablets. As tablets and smartphones became widespread, even technophobes quickly accustomed themselves to using touchscreens. Although it has not yet come to the point where outdoor LED signs are expected to be interactive or where static signs are frustrating. But there is no doubt that massive multi touch screens are popularly used in fields such as medicine, education and collaborative design.

Touch technology comes in several types: resistive, capacitive detection, perimeter based and so on. In the world of computers, all touchscreens are not created equally. As a result, there are thousands of touchscreen manufacturers across the world.

Just as it was expected with other emerging technologies, the initial costs of interactive LED displays was high but has dropped significantly today. To give you a rough idea – a good quality 42 inch interactive display can be bought at less than $1500.

One major hurdle that prevented companies from making optimum use of multi-touch displays was the expense of programming. For any touch based application, a code had to be written, and this would increase the cost by a considerable amount. Now however, specialized software platforms are available to replace the cost of coding.

Businesses of any size can produce attractive and functional interactive applications for any audience without the need of a single line of coding. Most of these software platforms are compatible with common hardware components. These software offer the option of using pre-existing templates to create content or start from scratch and create your own content design. The content can be created for any size of LED screen that operates with any operating system (Windows, Apple, Android, etc).

There is also the facility to combine multiple screens within one application to produce an interactive display wall. Furthermore, with remote deployment capabilities, businesses can schedule content, identify user experiences, and much more. Active businesses can also create interactive experiences with guaranteed returns.

Large interactive displays are becoming useful for businesses in many different industries, from fast food stores to subway stations and car dealerships. As the touch screen market grows, the Crunchy team has noticed some very innovative ways that touch screens are being utilized to connect customers to companies.

Museums have massive amounts of information for visitors with limited space to display all their material. Digital signage displays are extremely useful for museums to add informational depth to exhibits. Last January the Cleveland Museum of Art installed a 40 foot-wide touch screen in their Gallery One. The museum also created an app that allows visitors to customize their museum tours, scan and save their favorite art pieces, and share their interpretations with friends via social media.

Hard Rock International’s use of the Rockwall© is a great example of giant touch screens used wholly for guest entertainment. Not only are guests interacting with the Hard Rock brand, but learning about history and music at the same time!

Huge touch screens are a must have for any trade show booth. In today’s world, every company and brand has a website, and the leading brands have mobile apps and other digital materials to interact with customers. Showing off these assets at trade shows and conferences is a must.

The millennial generation is already accustomed to using touch screens in their everyday life; learning games and apps have exploded in the app store. Bringing touch screens to the classroom is a natural progression of the current learning environment.

Apps from the Apple and Google app store made great touch screen arcade games because guests already know how the play the games, just on a smaller screen. You can see these apps, like Infinity Blade and Fruit Ninja, at many of the big video arcades – including Dave & Busters and Jillian’s.

Bare-hand interaction refers to the use of the hands, palms, and fingers mainly for desktop or kiosk-oriented interactions. This type of interaction used to be the traditional touch screen technology that major museums and cultural heritage sites relied on, but now it has been experiencing revolutionary change.

In September 2020, Ideum announced the release of Touchless Design SDK Version 1.0, now available on GitHub. By tracking the visitor"s hand and specific gestures, such as opening and closing, this system gives the user complete control over the mouse without touching the screen tab. Ideum listed equipment and codes needed for the system for free so that museums, cultural organizations, and other public institutions can apply the technology post-pandemic.

Ideum has also been working with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., to develop a unique touchless kiosk that will guide visitors to enjoy the museum’s collection just by waving their hands. The kiosk will be similar to the traditional touch-screen display at museums, but with Intel RealSense depth camera D435 and Leap Motion controller for touchless gesture recognition. It doesn’t cost thousands of dollars for museums to adopt this new technology; the Intel RealSense depth camera D435 costs around $200 and the Leap Motion controller costs $80.

Some articles hold different opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of gesture-based technology for use in museums and arts organizations. Derpanis mentioned that traditional interfaces and touch-based interactions have reached a bottleneck in application development. Even before the pandemic, users were getting used to touch-based interfaces and sometimes getting bored with these devices or even ignoring them in a museum setting.

Because the application of the technology is relatively limited in museums for now, there are no large-scale statistics or studies on user demographics and experiences, but we can find from some small-scale data summarized by researchers that most users give high ratings for their gesture-based interactive experience, with children being more satisfied than adults. Users give feedback on some of the exhibits produced by Ideum saying that the exhibits are responsive, interactive, entertaining, and fun.

Two of the most obvious advantages of gesture-based interactives are 1.) they are an alternative to the touch screen interactive that might be reluctantly used by the public after the pandemic and 2.) they are more entertaining for the audience and can easily engage users of different ages.

Koutsabasis and Vosinakis suggest that for museums and cultural heritage attractions, the technology can be critical for educational purposes, especially for highlighting intangible aspects of cultural heritage such as habits, rituals, and everyday activities. Instead of using words and paragraphs on touch screens to define these intangible activities, gesture-based interaction is more user-friendly in engaging visitors to experience these intangible cultural heritages.

Additionally, because there are already mature technology companies in this field, the application of this technology is not particularly expensive for museums. According to the information published by Ideum on GitHub, the total price of sensors and cameras required for the application of bare-hand interaction does not exceed $300. Things that require the museum to spend more money may be the display screens and the creative content to be displayed.

Although this technology has many advantages and prospects, it still has some problems. Museums and technical designers still need to pay attention to many points when designing these interactive experiences. Jim Spadaccini, the founder of Ideum, points out that the instruction for gestures must be simple and clear or it will overwhelm visitors. Another concern is the precision of the sensors and the output image. Koutsabasis and Vosinakis mention in their research that users would sometimes experience hand track loss and miss targets during the interaction. Visitors also get easily disappointed when some of their movements do not get recognized, so technical precision is always a fundamental part of the application.

The Pro is Ideum’s most powerful high-performance interactive table. It has a workstation computer and options for expandability. Quality built with an all-aluminum frame, it has a patented design and uses the best available commercial components. Available with 49", 55", 65" and 75" 8K touch display configurations.

environments, museums, hotels, television studios, and conference centers. Broadly speaking, they can be found wherever one wants to engage with members

The technology behind multi-touch screens was first developed in the early 1980s. Their original intent was to enable designers to manipulate computer graphics with their fingers. In the years that followed, technology evolved quickly, giving rise to touchscreens on PDAs, personal computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Thanks to the meteoric rise and popularity of tablets and smartphones, even the most non-technical of consumers quickly became to interactive touchscreen display usage. It has not gotten to the point where interactive DOOH displays are expected and where static signage can lead to frustration. Undeniably, large-format multi-touch screen technology has become a widely used tool in the fields of collaborative design, medicine, and education.

Speaking more precisely about touchscreen technology, as stated by Computer World,, “not all touches are created equal”. There are several touch technologies available on the market, including surface-based touch technologies such as resistive and capacitive detection, and perimeter-based technologies such as infrared and optical detection.

The number of touchscreen manufacturers has grown significantly. For example, Samsung now ships low cost, all-in-one touch displays, the Tizen-based SMART Signage Platform, using projected capacitive (PCAP) technology. AOpen – an electronic manufacturer headquartered in Taiwan - is bringing Chrome-based devices to the masses with the all-in-one Chromebase. And the Shenzhen factories in China are producing an unprecedented number of Android-based displays.

A simple search on Alibaba shows almost 600 suppliers selling 47K (yes, that’s right!) "different" models of Android-based kiosks starting as low as $150. The touch display market itself is estimated to reach ! The era of interactive displays is now and - if you"re reading this - now is the time to be bold and take a leap using interactive content.

Just as one might expect for emerging technology, the initial cost of interactive displays was initially quite high. Since then, however, the cost has dropped significantly. You can now find a very good quality 42-inch multi-touch display for under $1500. As mentioned before, you can even find Android-based kiosks at a price as low as $150.

The remaining hurdle preventing companies from exploring the use of interactive displays was the programming expense. For virtually any touch-first application, code would need to be written, adding a services cost that could easily reach six figures.

Now, thanks to specialized platforms like Intuiface, businesses of any size can create functional and attractive interactive applications for any audience without having to write a single line of code. Intuiface touchscreen software works perfectly with any of the hardware options mentioned above. Within it you can choose from preexisting templates or start from scratch to create a design using your own content, tailored to any screen size for any Windows, iPad, Android, Chrome or Samsung SSP device. You can even combine multiple screens in one application to create an interactive display wall. And with capabilities like remote deployment, scheduling and the ability to track events to identify user preferences, even the most agile business can begin building interactive experiences with an all-but-guaranteed ROI. The cost? Simply a licensing fee, no services at all.

With all of these advancements in touch-first technology at incredibly affordable prices, it"s now much easier for virtually any business or organization to introduce interactive displays in their environment.

In recent years museums began to experience a sharp decline in attendance as they found it difficult to compete with the resources available online. However, since discovering how to benefit from technology, interactive displays in museums are beginning to attract large numbers of visitors, particularly amongst the younger age groups. Consequently, museum managers and curators are including touch screen kiosks, tablets and virtual reality devices to create innovative and imaginative exhibitions to help their visitors feel as though they have stepped back in time.

One of the world’s most famous museums is the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Founded in 1852, it has international fame and reputation that has seen it able to be at the forefront of utilising technology to enhance the interactive quality of the exhibitions it stages. Many other long-established museums are following the V and A’s example.

The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery opened its doors in 1885 and has the world’s largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings by artists such as Birmingham born Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), John Everett Millais (1829-1896) and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882). The museum has included interactive features throughout to create interesting displays to stir their visitors’ imaginations.

However, interactive displays in museums are not just confined to the larger establishments. Many smaller museums that are unable to command a comparative level of funding and attention are undaunted as they too are beginning to realise the advantages of installing touchscreen devices to enhance their exhibitions.

For example, the Robert Burns Museum, dedicated to Scotland’s national poet, is situated in the tiny cottage where he was born in 1759. Although space and resources are limited, the museum is using technology to allow the visitors to freely explore the cottage and different aspects of Burns’ life and work. They have included entertaining interactive quizzes in addition to visual and audio features that highlight his poems and songs. Features such as QR code downloadable apps can provide visitors with extra information, helping the museum to add extra content to the displays and avoid the cost of printing surplus guide books.

Another small museum to discover the benefits of interactive displays is Pontefract Museum in West Yorkshire. The museum has recently invested in the complete refurbishment of the building, which dates back to 1904, and the exhibitiongalleries.

Items now on display include the first ballot box ever used and the Ackworth Hoard of gold coins dating back to the Seventeenth Century English Civil War. However, the museum has also installed new technology to ensure visitors enjoy an unforgettable experience with interactive displays specifically designed for families.

Interactive touchscreen devices can be invaluable for providing maps of the layout of the exhibition halls. For instance, the Victoria Gallery and Museum in Liverpool, which features the work of the Nineteenth Century wildlife artist, John James Audubon (1785-1851), has utilised technology to create a free App that gives an interactive guided tour of the entire museum.

The App also highlights interesting exhibits displayed across the three floors of the museum and is accessible through tablets that visitors can borrow if they haven’t brought their own.

One of the greatest advantages of using interactive displays in museums is that they can be customised to suit an individual museum’s requirements. Bespoke operating functions can be installed that present information for visitors in a simple, clear format that is easy to use.

With Mobile Device Management (MDM) software to add an exciting new dimension to an exhibition, updating of information is quick and easy, even on a daily basis. The software will include a lock down mode to prevent visitors accessing the data, while the hardware kiosks or touch screen devices are stylishly presented and strong enough to withstand constant use. Various features can be included such as ticket dispensing and market research facilities to assist in planning future exhibitions.

Interactive displays in museums can be in a variety of formats such as video walls, touch screen kiosks or virtual reality devices that can make history seem exciting and lifelike. Every museum, regardless of size or resources, is realising the benefits to be gained from investing in a variety of interactive displays that will add the fun and excitement that younger visitors in particular will enjoy. Installing high quality interactive display systems is an extremely cost-effective and versatile way to increase visitor rates.
