Project option #2 (434 only):
Kiosk for a Blockbuster video rental 

Create an application designed to help Blockbuster's customers pick a movie to rent. Typical kiosk setting will include a display (which might be touch sensitive), and possibly a keyboard and or a trackball, but you are free to propose any configuration you think will be useful. For this project, keep in mind:

  • Hundreds of movies might be available

  • Users will be using your interface in a public place, while in somewhat of a hurry

  • Most of your users will not be familiar with the interface (since they will not use it very often)

Please do not forget to check the hardware rules for 434 projects.
