Hi, I am a member of a local history group and am trying to put together an interactive kiosk for our ‘new’ 12th-century exhibition space. Basically it will be a website running on an Android tablet.

And once it is in this mode how do I ensure that visitors cannot turn it off ? All ideas welcome :D

If I have correctly understood this... as the app is for single use within the museum I need to find a 'full screen' app which works just on the tablet and not for 'full screen mode' for anybody who logs into the non existant website?

zapatak, sorry I mistyped your handle!
You have a dedicated Android tablet, upon which you wish to run a locally-installed Xara website in kiosk mode, full screen, no title and no means of closing the presentation/website.
There's lots of steps you need like ensuring the device cannot be physically powered off, whitelisting to just that web address, ...
