Let visitors see the details they’d miss through the glass.
One large image with numbered hotspots. Visitors tap a number to zoom in on a detail and read a short note, then move to the next object. You place the hotspots by clicking on the photo.
A real screen from a sample interactive built with the Object Explorer template. Yours uses your own content, photos, and brand.
What the Object Explorer template does
- Up to eight numbered hotspots per object, placed by clicking on the photo, each with a label and a short note.
- Tap a hotspot to zoom in on that part of the image.
- Several objects in one interactive, with a row of objects along the bottom to switch between them.
- Full card text, extra photos, and video for each object.
- Works with any large image: an artifact, a map, a machine, or a building.
- Runs in landscape or portrait, online or fully offline.

Runs on a Mac mini or small Windows PC with a touchscreen. Our kiosk setup guide walks through it.
Object Explorer questions
How many hotspots can one object have?
Up to eight. Four to six usually reads best on a kiosk. Each hotspot has a short label and a note of up to 300 characters.
Can I use the Object Explorer for something that isn’t an artifact?
Yes. It works with any large image, such as a map, a building, a piece of machinery, or a product. For products at a booth, the Product Showcase template adds specs and a request-info button.
Do I need a special camera?
No. A sharp, well-lit photo from a good phone or camera works. The bigger and clearer the original, the better the zoom looks.
