Transforming Trails and Greenways with Interactive Smart Kiosks

Riverfront Commons Riverwalk, Atlanta Beltline, and the Brickline Greenway are three world-class active destinations that attract locals and tourists alike. All three are integrating interactive smart kiosks to enhance visitor experiences, connect people with surrounding businesses and attractions, and provide powerful insights for the organizations managing these spaces.

Navigation and Enhanced Visitor Engagement

These interactive kiosks allow visitors to explore their surroundings with ease. The Riverfront Commons kiosks, for instance, provide information about nearby attractions, upcoming events, and community resources, all accessible at the touch of a screen and able to be forwarded directly to a visitor's smartphone. Similarly, Atlanta Beltline and Brickline Greenway kiosks help visitors navigate extensive trail networks while discovering nearby parks, businesses, arts and culture, dining, entertainment, and other points of interest.

With unlimited customization, each solution is tailored to the unique needs of its destination, creating an intuitive and engaging visitor experience that encourages people to explore more of the surrounding area.

Family-Friendly Augmented Reality Features

One of the most engaging applications on these kiosks is the Augmented Reality (AR) selfie app, designed to offer a fun, interactive experience for children and families. This app enables visitors to take creative selfies with AR overlays and property-specific borders, making their visit even more memorable. It’s an ideal way for families to capture their time together while adding a touch of digital magic to the experience.

Upcoming Events and Local Information

To keep locals and visitors informed, the kiosks provide a continuously updated list of upcoming local events. From festivals and community gatherings to arts, cultural, and recreational activities, this feature ensures that users stay connected with what’s happening throughout each destination and its surrounding community.

Whether someone is looking for a family-friendly event in a city connected to the Riverwalk, an activity on the Beltline, or something happening around the Greenway, they can find the latest information directly at their fingertips.

Digital Advertising for Sustainable Revenue

To support the financial sustainability of these projects, the kiosks are designed to host digital

advertising. With high-visibility screens, businesses along or near these greenways can reach a highly relevant audience, people who are already engaging with the local community and often looking for nearby dining, shopping, entertainment, and services.

This strategic advertising integration provides each organization with an opportunity to generate ongoing revenue while simultaneously promoting local businesses and strengthening connections between the greenway and the surrounding community.

Data-Driven Insights

One of the most innovative features of these smart kiosks is the collection of both touch and video analytics. By tracking interactions and foot traffic patterns, the kiosks can help teams understand how visitors engage with each destination and its surrounding businesses.

For Riverfront Commons, Atlanta Beltline, and Brickline Greenway, these insights can inform decisions around kiosk placement, visitor behavior, popular destinations, peak usage times, event planning, and future improvements. This data provides organizations with a clearer understanding of how people are using these public spaces and where additional opportunities exist to improve the visitor experience.

In short, the implementation of interactive smart kiosks at Riverfront Commons, Atlanta Beltline, and Brickline Greenway reflects the growing role of technology in public spaces. By combining intuitive wayfinding, local information, interactive features, advertising opportunities, and actionable data, these destinations are creating smarter, more connected experiences for the communities and visitors they serve.
