An information station method and apparatus afford containment, presentation and updating of information used passively or in interactive formats whereby computer (10), computer graphics, video (20) and audio and voice sources combine in display for participant's use, programming and integrating to draw from autoserved contained material in properly conditioned and radiation shielded environments and from added information received from external sources. The information station (1) may be incorporated in a self-contained case for specific applications or may exist with extensive resources contained as a hub for multiple and varied display terminal configurations. The terminal design, one with no moving parts, allows the participant touch response (5) and voice response input modes, present state of the art monitor display (3) and optionally higher resolution, and audio and voice coded in a tactile armband or synthesized with speech sound crystal output modulated to trace voice pitch. Information contained in flexible film videodiscs is stored in autochangers (2) and automatically discs feed into videodisc players allowing uninterrupted, multidisc presentations and dual or multiple disc programming. |
