We do not have bookstores or similar locations that use touchscreens on our island. It would be very helpful for me to see some examples (screenshots?) of touchscreen applications (for general public use)!
I'm having a hard time to explain the users to explain what they need to do, especially how to use the touchscreen (click with the finger on the button etc.)
Could somebody give me some examples of introdutory explanations that could appear on the first page, so all users really understand how to use the system? I would be very thankful for any input.
