Common questions about digital recognition systems and industry standards.
What is a Digital Hall of Fame?
A Digital Hall of Fame is an interactive touchscreen display that showcases the achievements, history, and legacy of a school or community. Unlike traditional plaques, trophies, and record boards, a Digital Hall of Fame brings stories to life through pictures, videos, statistics, and more—all accessible on our web-based platform. Our state-of-the-art Interactive Hall of Fame brings student success, alumni milestones, and championship moments to life—all in a sleek, modern display.
How do Digital Hall of Fame displays work?
Digital Hall of Fame displays use interactive touchscreen technology and our custom cloud-based software that updates in real time.

Visitors can explore achievements by category, year, sport, or individual, creating an engaging and intuitive experience. At Touchstone, we build every platform from scratch, with no cost to build or maintain, ensuring every interaction is smooth, stunning, and unforgettable.
Why should schools switch to digital recognition displays?
Switching to digital recognition displays helps schools and organizations save space, save time, and modernize how they celebrate achievements—all while expanding their reach.
