Digital signage vs. interactive kiosk—what's the difference?
Digital signage is typically one-way: scheduled content on a screen people look at. An interactive kiosk is two-way: a visitor touches, searches, or navigates. Many venues need both—a menu board beside a product explorer—which is why multi-screen sync matters.
Signage answers “what is on right now?” Hours, promotions, a looping film, a directory. A kiosk answers “let me do something”: wayfinding, object lookup, a story the visitor drives.
Slide tools blur that line. They can fill a TV, but they are not built for touch, real-time sync across devices, or one-click deployment to hardware. Purpose-built software treats signage and kiosks as the same project when they share a space.

What can I build with Zibit?
Teams use Zibit to build:
- Interactive kiosks and touchscreen exhibits
- Museum and gallery exhibits
- Wayfinding displays
- Digital signage
- Education displays
Projects can share styles, collections, and files across a Space, so teams aren't rebuilding from scratch each time.
How is Zibit different from using PowerPoint or Google Slides for signage?
Slide tools aren't built for interactive, multi-screen, or touch-based displays—they lack real-time sync across devices, accessibility defaults, and one-click deployment to physical hardware. Zibit is purpose-built for interactive digital experiences, not repurposed presentation software.
Does Zibit support multi-screen sync?
Yes. Zibit supports real-time multi-screen sync, so you can build experiences that span multiple synchronized displays, including interactions that carry across screens. You can connect as many displays as you want for a seamless experience, including edge-blended or seamless video walls.
