Is there some software that would allow people to self register at the entrance of a workshop?
I’m planning a workshop in a few days, I had the idea to put a Kiosk powered by a Raspberry Pi and a regular PC monitor, put it at the entrance, and let people register themselves before entering. Then the assistants could be registered in something that later would allow me to export into a csv.
Consider rpi camera + personal qr code for signing in. You would always get the same info and it would be seamless enough (probably) that people won’t skip it as easily. Also could be easily expanded, like borrowing tools for instance or when leaving to get an idea how long people stay in for etc.
If I understand your need correctly, you could look into doing this with a simple browser and a custom webpage that has some entry forms that then store the data from registrants into a table.
You could then have the browser take up the whole monitor seamlessly by pressing F11 to make it look a bit cleaner and tasked to purpose.
Firefox has a kiosk mode using a cli flag, which if I recall correctly also prevents exiting fullscreen (though they can still close Firefox, or follow links off-site).
