Usability and accessibility recommendations when mounting an attendance kiosk device

...

  • Avoid strong reflections in on the device screen, as this will affect how quickly and easily a barcode can be scanned.

  • Ensure the height and angle of the device provides users of varying height access.

    • As a starting point, avoid having the top of the device higher than 120cm from the ground.

    • Tilt device slightly upwards, but avoid strong reflections from overhead lighting.

    • If it is an option to do so, consider having two kiosks at main entrances; one placed lower, and the other higher.

  • Do no place and obstacles in front of devices that would force users to reach further than necessary, of block access for wheelchairs.

  • Consider if the kiosk can easily be approached from the side, or front only. Side-approach (or parallel-approach) allows wheelchair users to get closer, thus reach higher.

  • Ensure there’s sufficient space in front of the kiosk, where multiple people can wait without encroaching on each other’s privacy, and for wheelchairs to turn around. Especially where only front-approach is possible.
