Touch Survey for Trade Show - Post ID...

I have been asked by a customer if we could provide a survey tool for their booth at a trade show. I have been thinking of using a touch screen monitor for this purpose. Actually, I have been thinking of using a large all-in-one PC with a 25" touch screen for this purpose, so that the keyboard and mouse would be convenient, and I like the way it looks. HOWEVER, I'm also thinking that it would be nice to be able to have the entire form accessible by TOUCH ONLY, including the text fields.

Does anyone out there know whether or not there is something that I can use with the touch screen and a form made with Web Form Builder that would allow input from an on-screen interface where the viewer can "type" in a response with touch only, and interact with the form and make choices (like radio buttons or check lists)?

Thanks in advance.

The formbuilder should do the trick. I use it for input on a mobile app that I built and it has worked on every device that my users have and my pc's touch screen.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric;

So, if you put a text field on the form, and you select it with touch, how is the entry of the text handled? Does a virtual keyboard appear on the screen? I understand how it would work for mobile, but, unsure about a large touch screen.

Thank you.

On my laptop's touch screen there's a symbol for a keyboard that you can touch and the keyboard will appear on the screen.
