Kiosk Mode in Your Boutique: Hardware, Setup & Best Practices
Tablet, Android totem or large touch display? The right hardware decides whether your advising mirror becomes a highlight – a practical guide with checklist.
01
Level 1: Tablet on a stand – the smart entry
An iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab on an elegant floor stand is ready in an hour – the perfect entry point. Ideal at the counter or in front of the fitting rooms. Choose a stable, rotatable mount that fits your store's look and enable guided access so the device stays in kiosk mode.
02
Level 2: Portrait Android totem – the mirror experience
Free-standing 55-inch portrait totems come closest to the mirror metaphor: customers see themselves almost life-size. Many models have a built-in camera and run natively on Android – Mira starts right on the device. Place the totem where footfall and light are right: centrally in the store, not against the backlight of the shop windows.

Level 3: Premium touch displays, e.g. Philips T-Line
For flagship stores, a professional 55-inch 4K touch display like the Philips T-Line is worth it: native Android with Google Play support, remote management for multiple locations and sizes up to 86 inches. Displays without their own camera get a discreet USB camera on the top frame. Alternatively, a Samsung Flip can be paired with a player via USB-C.

Setup checklist for launch
Test stable Wi-Fi on site, configure the device for 12/7 operation and automatic start, screen at eye level (camera approx. 150–160 cm), indirect light without reflections, a hygiene station next to it, and: train the team – the best technology only works when associates actively invite customers to try it.
