The General Services Administration plans to install information kiosks to its locations, according to a report by Federal Times. These kiosks will be developed by Pyramid Alliance.

"Imagine walking into your office building, coffee in hand, and the first thing you see is a bright digital display with a color dashboard offering a variety of information, including an agenda with your 10 a.m. meeting on it," said Stephen Triplett, director of the Small Business GWAC Division.

The kiosk will offer a variety of information such as the building's energy consumption, directions in the building and an integrated map to help workers plan their commute home.

"Before leaving the building for home, you check the display one final time and see that the freeway is unexpectedly gridlocked," Triplett said. "A quick tap of the screen and alternate routes pop up that get you home in time for dinner."

The first group of kiosks is set to roll out this December.
