Kiosk app — Microsoft event

Microsoft Innovation Universe

Interactive kiosk experience for a Microsoft-aligned event, built as a focused vanilla JavaScript front end. Live demo · Visual design by Subterfuse Design Agency.

Problem​

Event floors need self-serve discovery: products, partners, or narrative beats without staffing every station. The build had to stay lightweight (fast load, easy deploy) and faithful to design handoff.

Solution​

Implemented UI and interactions in plain JS against the provided design: clear navigation, touch-friendly controls, and assets optimized for kiosk displays. No framework overhead where simplicity and load time were the priority.

Impact​

  • Low friction deployment: static assets suit event IT and pop-up networks.
  • Predictable behavior on locked-down kiosk browsers without SPA complexity.

Lessons learned​

  • Vanilla JS remains a strong choice when the surface area is bounded and performance matters.
  • Tight design ↔ dev pairing (agency + implementation) reduces rework on spacing and motion.
  • For events, cache-busting and offline fallbacks are worth planning before opening day.

Tech stack​

  • JavaScript (vanilla), HTML, CSS
  • Static hosting (event-appropriate CDN or simple web server)
