In the era of smart cities and digital transformation, interactive kiosks have become essential in public spaces, retail environments, transportation hubs, and cultural venues. These kiosks are designed to provide information, services, and interactive experiences to users, creating more intelligent and efficient ways to communicate.
However, one critical factor that determines the success of interactive kiosks is sound delivery. Traditional loudspeakers often broadcast sound in all directions, which can lead to unnecessary noise pollution, lack of privacy, and difficulty in clearly delivering messages in noisy environments. This creates challenges in busy public areas where clear and precise audio is required.
This is where interactive kiosk directional audio solutions come into play. By integrating directional sound technologies into kiosks, organizations can create a focused, clear, and private listening experience for users while reducing noise disturbance in surrounding areas.
Traditional speakers spread sound in all directions, which can easily disturb people outside the target listening zone. In contrast, directional speakers control the propagation of sound within a certain angle, ensuring that only the intended listener hears the audio clearly. When a user stands in front of an interactive kiosk, they can receive voice guidance or instructions without causing interference to others nearby. This feature is particularly important in crowded and noisy environments such as shopping malls, transportation hubs, retail spaces, exhibitions, and advertising displays.
Many interactive kiosks provide sensitive information services, such as smart guidance, electronic payment, and navigation support. With integrated directional speakers, the voice prompts and information played during interaction are only heard by the user in front of the kiosk, protecting personal privacy and enhancing security.
Noise pollution in public spaces has long been a challenge for city managers. By using directional speakers, kiosks can significantly reduce unnecessary environmental noise while ensuring effective communication. This contributes to maintaining a quieter atmosphere in places such as libraries, exhibition halls, or office areas where silence is essential.
By combining precision, privacy, and reduced noise, directional audio enhances the overall interactive experience. Users are more likely to engage with kiosks when they can hear clearly without distractions. This makes kiosks more effective tools for service delivery, information dissemination, and customer engagement.
Integrating directional audio into digital kiosks offers advantages for both operators and end-users.

Directional audio solutions are particularly valuable in scenarios such as:
The true value of interactive kiosk directional audio solutions can be seen through real-world implementations. Below are two case studies that highlight how Audfly directional speakers were successfully integrated into digital kiosks in 2024.
Year: 2024
Products: Indoor Ultrasonic Directional Speaker
Model: Model Mini
We are excited to integrate our ultrasonic directional speaker into a digital interactive kiosk. This device enhances the user experience by delivering clear, focused sound through ultrasonic directional technology, minimizing background noise and ensuring accurate information delivery.
Our directional speaker is perfect for high-traffic areas such as transportation hubs, retail spaces, and public venues. It focuses sound propagation in noisy environments, effectively conveying clear information to the target area without disturbing surrounding spaces.
By integrating this directional sound technology, we optimize the clarity of information delivery and create a more efficient, intelligent listening experience, promoting innovation in public information systems.
Year: 2024
Products: Indoor Focused Sound Speakers
Model: Model B1
We are excited to share the successful integration of our Audfly Model B focused sound speakers with digital interaction kiosks at bus terminals! This system not only delivers clearer audio for passengers but also effectively reduces noise pollution in surrounding areas.
Solution Highlights
The Model B focused sound speakers use advanced sound beam technology to focus sound like a flashlight beam in the area in front of the digital interactive kiosks. This means that only passengers standing in the designated area can hear the audio prompts clearly, while those outside the zone remain unaffected, minimizing noise disturbance.
In busy bus terminals, traditional broadcast systems often struggle to deliver clear audio due to high ambient noise, causing passengers to miss important information and leading to poor user experiences at kiosks. The Model B focused sound speakers effectively solve this problem, ensuring passengers receive clear and precise information even in noisy environments.
The integration of directional audio technologies into digital kiosks represents a significant step forward in improving user experience and optimizing public information systems. Through precision sound delivery, privacy protection, and noise reduction, interactive kiosks equipped with directional speakers provide a smarter, quieter, and more user-friendly communication channel.
The case studies of the Audfly Model Mini and Model B1 clearly demonstrate how real-world applications of interactive kiosk directional audio solutions bring tangible benefits in transportation hubs, retail spaces, and other high-traffic public venues.
As a leading innovator in directional sound technology, Audfly continues to deliver advanced solutions that redefine how information is shared in public spaces. By leveraging directional audio, interactive kiosks can achieve clearer communication, enhanced privacy, and a more engaging experience for every user.
