Hi Tim,
The Sheringham Museum have done lots of great stuff with Raspberry Pi's and
PowerPoint to create simple kiosks, they have also put Pi's inside old GPO
phones to create a dial a sound clip device. The manager there at the time
said just phone or email us and we'll happily help.
I'm looking at Pi's for simple playback of video art as the devices are
smaller than my mac mini's and brightsign's and can be powered by a USB
port on the monitor.
Best regards
Tony
