Flash offers another alternative--develop the interactive in Flash and you
can export it as a standalone projector for Mac or Windows computers for the
exhibit kiosk, and put it on your web site as well, using the swf export.
The standalone projectors let you bypass Web browsers, which are buggy and
open up security issues (on Windows especially), while offering much more
interactivity than traditional HTML Web pages.

Cheers,
Dave
