Marathon Point Info Kiosk: Bringing History to Life
The Marathon Point Info Kiosk transforms the Košice Peace Marathon experience by creating an interactive touchscreen journey through Europe's oldest marathon.
The Challenge
The Košice Peace Marathon, established in 1924, has a rich history that visitors wanted to explore. However, traditional static displays couldn't capture the depth and excitement of nearly a century of marathon history. We needed to create an engaging, interactive experience that would:
- Showcase the marathon's rich history
- Highlight famous runners and their achievements
- Provide real-time statistics and information
- Encourage participation through easy registration
Our Solution
We developed a custom touchscreen kiosk application that brings the marathon's history to life through interactive storytelling and data visualization.
