# Recommended setup

## Minimum recommended setup for Kiosk App:

* **Computer**: In order for the App to run smoothly you have to use a computer with **minimum requirements**:  Core i7-1165 / 16GB RAM  / 128GB HDD/SSD / nVIDIA GTX 2060 with 6 GB GDDR6. It might be a gaming laptop, or mini PC like [Intel NUC Phantom Canyon](https://simplynuc.eu/phantom-canyon/). It also works on regular PC's.

If you wish to use ready-to-go Digital Signage Solution (like prebuilt Kiosk Device), the built-in, regular Intel NUC will probably not be powerful enough to handle the Kiosk app smoothly. This applies especially to the Metahuman version of the App.

*  **Screen:** The kiosk app may run on any screen (tested on up to 75'). For the best experience, it should be a touchscreen, although it will also run on regular screens (like laptop screen).

You should use a vertical screen orientation, otherwise, you may not be satisfied with how your Virtual Being looks on the screen.
{% endhint %}

* **Microphone**: you can use any kind of microphone with the kiosk app. But directional microphone or dedicated Kiosk microphones should work best - check out [microphones section](https://docs.virbe.ai/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/microphones). Proper setup of microphones is covered in detail in [Microphone settings](https://docs.virbe.ai/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/customer-experience/microphone-settings) section.

Microphone set-up is crucial for the success of your Kiosk App project - go ahead and read the whole [Microphones section](https://docs.virbe.ai/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/microphones).
{% endhint %}

* **IoT**: in the basic setup no IoT devices are required. If you wish to add external signals as in-app triggers, go through [IoT section](https://docs.virbe.ai/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/iot). 
* **Peripherals**: good loudspeakers are essential, and those are the only peripherals that you need to run the App.
