The application was built with ASP, HTML, JavaScript, and Visual Basic in Dreamweaver and InterDev. The project involved a small team of developers, a controlling committee with fifteen members and over fifty content providers. To coordinate the efforts of a large team we used eRoom (an extranet-type file management and project management application).
The timeline was authored in MS Project and the application proof-of-concept was
created using Visio Technical. The completed kiosk went on to tour the world and the software architecture is now used as a development standard for new kiosk applications.
