Abstract
In this paper we describe nibble.io, an offline information kiosk that has been designed for deployment within the rural communities of developing countries. We show how a pervasive technology such as sound can be used as a method of interaction between low-end feature phones and information kiosks built using standard PC monitors. By connecting an embedded computer to a monitor we show how we are able to create an interactive experience driven by the user´s phone using a variety of interfaces ranging from music players to web browsers.
