ASPS Secure Web Browser For Kiosks
The ArtistScope Web Reader switches from any sized window to
full-screen kiosk browser mode without a toolbar or a status bar at the click of a
button, providing maximum screen area on the desktop. This is most useful for:
- Focusing the viewer's attention on the content and
the media that is being displayed
- Maximizing the view area for examination of maps
and detailed drawings or photographs
- Presentation of video files and movies for audience
view at full screen

Kiosk mode is often used for removing options to enhance the security for web
content. However, with ArtisReader, that is no longer necessary since you will
have protection at its best. Because of this, kiosk mode is used purely for
aesthetics and convenience.How To Launch A Web Reader Window In Kiosk Mode
Each web page can contain special meta-tags with instructions for ArtisReader
to decide how it will display its browser window. So to make the current page
open in full screen kiosk mode, all you have to do is include on the web page
(in between the head tags) is
the following tag:
<meta name="artis-kioskmode" value="true">
As the reader's browser window opens, the toolbar (usually at the top) and the
status bar (at the bottom) will disappear to maximize the available screen area.
Unlike other kiosk and full screen windows, ArtisReader doesn't need to cover
the computer's task bar (the one at the bottom of your screen). In fact, it is
purposely left to easily access and open other applications.
How To Collapse The Web Reader Kiosk Window
Click the “X” on the top right of the window to close ArtisReader (shut it
down) or click the icon beside the “X” to minimize the window to a smaller size
from full screen.
On the other hand, to collapse the kiosk mode window size, the web designer can
simply set a new size in the following windows to be opened. When a window opens
or changes to any window that is not on "kiosk" mode, the browser tool bar will
reappear automatically.
How To Set The Size Of The Web Reader Browser Window
As with kiosk mode, the web designer can add meta-tags for the width and height
of a browser window. Each individual page can also be set to open at a
different size if need be:
<meta name="artis-width" value="800">
<meta name="artis-height" value="600">
Here the window size has been set to 800 x 600 pixels.
How To Adjust The Web Reader Browser Window Size
Regardless of what size has been set, the operator can always adjust it by
click-dragging the window frame edges and corners like how it is done with
normal web browsers.
