We would like the user to be able to use their smartphone for the experience with no login or account creation requirement. We do intend to have 4 displays at key entrances initially where they could approach and find their destination and would potentially add more down the road. We would prefer to purchase the displays/kiosk hardware through current University contracts, but if you offer this hardware directly or there are additional license costs per kiosk please include in your "Response Attachment - Quote" file.
