Where you can go

Impact grows faster than kiosk count.

New units go where visitors already show demand, so each one outperforms today's network average.

Proven-rate projections use Pittsburgh's seven-kiosk network, measured over eight months (Jan to Aug 2026): today's units at their current pace, new units at the Airport Right pace. Proven impressions are low because no kiosk counts passersby yet; the video wall supplies 340K of them. The 15,000-impression target represents a higher-traffic network with OMNI Faces measuring audience, and is not presented as current measured performance. All dollar values are modeled.

How to read the numbers

What's measured, what's modeled.

Measured

  • Sessions, dwell, screens per session, actions and listings from the TrueOmni CMS, Jan 1 to Aug 31, 2026
  • Video wall impressions (226,770) and kiosk ad views (3,369)
  • Annualized at 12 / 8 months

Modeled · illustrative

  • $15.09 impact per session and tax at 6.5% of impact, from the Visit Bellevue TrueImpact network. Pittsburgh's own visitor-economy data replaces these in a full brief.
  • 15,000 kiosk impressions per unit per month (target), once OMNI Faces counts passersby; 40% engagement on those impressions
  • Ad revenue at a $35 CPM with fill rising 50% → 70%, net of $1,400 software per kiosk
  • Transactions at 2% of sessions × $55 average ticket; contacts at 5% opt-in
  • New units at ≈ 1,400 sessions / yr, today's Airport Right pace; ≈ $9,500 hardware per unit
