<p>'''Display the optimal amount of content.''' To ensure a good and effective design, we recommend having 1 to 5 hotspot in each panel of your kiosk. Plan and choose the key projects or initiatives you want to showcase, to effectively guide viewers to click on each hotspot. If one panel has no hotspot, it’s a missed opportunity. On the other hand, having too many hotspots (more than 5) will overload the viewers and their attention will be split in too many directions, making it less effective.
