Touch screen digital signage

Screens people can tap, without kiosk software.

Turn a touch screen into a sign people explore themselves: trainer profiles, a building directory, a product catalogue or a menu. Make any part of a design a button, choose where it goes, and manage it from the same dashboard as the rest of your screens.

Ideas

What people build with it.

Anything where someone wants to pick what they see next.

Visitor information points

Opening hours, maps, events and FAQs in a lobby, a museum or a visitor centre.

Tap to play a video

A tile that jumps to a video screen, for product demos, tours or a welcome message.

How it works

Set it up in five steps.

No code. Everything happens in the POMP designer and playlist editor.

  1. 1

    Design a home screen

    In the designer, lay out a tile for each thing people can pick: a photo and a name works well. Start from a template or a blank canvas.

  2. 2

    Make each tile a button

    Select a tile and, under When tapped, choose Go to slide… and enter the slide number in the playlist. You can also use Next slide and Previous slide for simple paging.

  3. 3

    Design a page for each tile

    Add the detail screens, and give each one a Back button that goes to slide 1.

  4. 4

    Build the playlist

    Put the home screen first and tick Show until changed so it waits for a tap. Follow each detail page with the home screen again, so if someone walks away the page returns home after its duration.

  5. 5

    Assign it to your touch screens

    Pair the screen, assign the playlist, and lock the device to POMP so nobody can leave the app.

  6. An example playlist

    1 Home (show until changed)
    2 Trainer A (30s) → 3 Home
    4 Trainer B (30s) → 5 Home
    …

    Home's tiles go to slides 2, 4, 6 and so on. Each Back button goes to slide 1.

Why POMP

Touch screens, in the same place as every other screen.

  • No separate kiosk software: touch screens sit in the same dashboard, playlists and schedules as the rest of your screens.
  • Touch is part of every plan, including the free one. There's no per-screen touch licence.
  • Edit a design once and every copy updates, so the home screen stays the same wherever it appears in the playlist.
  • Live parts keep working on touch screens: clocks, weather, countdowns, calendars and data feeds.
  • Players cache media, so pages open instantly and keep working if the internet drops (store apps).
  • Schedules, sleep times and emergency broadcast work on touch screens just like any other screen.

Touch screen questions

Does POMP work with touch screens?

Yes. Any element on a POMP design can be a button that goes to the next slide, the previous slide or a chosen slide in the playlist. It works with a tap on a touch screen, a click on the web player and the select button on a TV remote.

Which touch screens can I use?

iPads, Android tablets and touch-screen Android displays run the POMP app. Windows touch PCs, all-in-one touch displays and kiosk browsers can run the web player at player.pompsignage.com. If the device can open a modern web browser, it can run POMP.

How does the screen get back to the start?

Tick Show until changed on the home screen so it waits for a tap. Give each detail page a duration, say 30 seconds, and put the home screen after it in the playlist. If nobody taps Back, the page returns home on its own.

Do I have to design the home screen several times?

No. Add the same design to the playlist as many times as you need. Designs are used by reference, so editing it once updates every copy.

Can a tap open a website or a form?

Not yet. Taps move between screens in the playlist, which can be designs, images, videos, web pages or any other POMP screen. For forms or sign-ups, add a QR code people can scan with their phone.

Which player version do I need?

POMP player 2.1.2 or later. Store apps update automatically and the web player always runs the latest version, so most screens already have it. Older players show the designs and ignore taps.

How do I stop people leaving the app?

On iPad, use Guided Access or your MDM's single app mode. On Android, use your EMM's kiosk or lock task mode. On a PC, run the web player in your browser's kiosk mode.

How many designs do I need?

One home screen plus one page for each tile. The free plan includes 3 custom designs, enough to try a home screen and two pages. Basic includes 20 and Pro 100.
