fd2s Creates Interactive Donor Kiosks for Cancer Center

Austin, TX, November 3, 2009 — Austin-based wayfinding and environmental graphic design consultant fd2s has completed the development of an innovative donor kiosk system for the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

The kiosks, which are located throughout the institution, include PCs with embedded keyboards and flat panel displays, plus a large overhead display that runs a loop of M. D. Anderson commercials to attract visitors to the kiosk. At the kiosk, visitors can browse a variety of content about M. D. Anderson and its donors, learn how they can get involved, and even make a donation using their credit card. Information on the kiosks is managed using a web-based content management system, which allows fundraising staff to publish articles, set items to publish on schedules, and analyze kiosk usage.
