Solution
The three main elements of the check in kiosk comprised of Thales ID scanners, Thales facial recognition, and a customer facing tablet based user interface (UI). All of these technologies needed to be integrated with each other to in order for the experience to be seamless for the customer.
It was very important for both us and Loogaroo that the check in kiosk and experience could be easily customised and adapted as we learn from the release of the Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and the customer response.

Results
Our solution for the MVP was to keep some essential elements installed on the machine, but separate away elements which we might need to change, such as the UI, via a peripheral abstraction layer. This allows us to make quick updates without having to install anything on the hardware, all that’s needed is to push updates to a web application.
Having this peripheral abstraction layer means that the UI doesn’t care how it gets it information. If it was necessary to use a different ID scanner, or facial recognition tool at some point in the future, the separation of the different elements of this tool make it easy to swap out. It allows each separate element of the kiosk to be iterated on separately, and remotely.
