They are called \u2018interactive touch screen kiosks\u2019. As a self-contained unit, it is a combination of software and hardware to integrate all media tools, comprising video, text, graphics, and quality sound. It includes a touch sensor and a monitor on which the sensor is fitted. The user has to touch the appropriate sensors as per the options provided visually on the kiosk monitor. The user is then guided through different interactive screens to the information requested. The railway station kiosks help passengers know the reservation status of their tickets. The kiosk comes into action at the passenger\u2019s touch. The passenger puts up his enquiry by touching the numbers constituting the ticket PNR number. The reservation status is then displayed on the display panel. Hence, the passenger is not required to go to the reservation office, which can be a few miles away in big cities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"143\">Most of the insurance companies have also set up kiosks at strategic locations. For example, LIC has installed kiosks at more than 150 <span class=\"red-underline\" data-startindex=\"135\" data-endindex=\"140\" data-paragraphid=\"143\">places<\/span> covering its divisional headquarters.
