Kiask is a no-code solution that makes storytelling easy. Organizations of all sizes, especially museums and historical societies, can use Kiask to craft short, interactive stories for their attention span-challenged audiences. And they can do so quickly and with zero fuss. Crafted stories can publish at an interactive kiosk and/or on the web.
Kiask includes three parts:
Kiask enables story authors and and curators to easily manage digital assets and collaborate together. Authors use Kiask to create interactive stories, which a curator then reviews and publishes to the terminal. All through the same no-code platform.
Kiask is the brainchild of Dr. Sudheer Apte, who has decades of experience in creating computer software for robotics and embedded systems at some of the world’s leading robot vendors, IT hardware makers, and MIT-spinoff startups (LinkedIn profile).
Sudheer’s twin passions are in simplifying complex systems and in tailoring solutions keeping the end user in mind. He brings both these gifts to Kiask. It helps that his love of all things history finds him always visiting area historical societies no matter where he travels.
Interactive touchscreens you see in shopping centers and airports do not work for small museums.
Creating stories with these kiosks is expensive, difficult, and requires too much customization for each narrative. It needs custom software and integration with commercial navigational packages. Costs add up quickly.
A few large, well-funded museums might have the human resources and funds to overcome the problem and design custom interactive exhibits. But smaller, volunteer-powered museums need to be able to tell their stories, too.
Kiask fills this important niche. We help small museums and historical societies tell their stories on kiosks easily and quickly. Kiask delivers complete turnkey solutions using powerful and affordable off-the-shelf displays.
