Showcase Mode is a type of digital signage mode where your Android device continuously plays a campaign, promotion, or slideshow for visitors in your store.
When someone touches the screen, the campaign pauses, and the visitor can interact with the device as usual.
After a short period of inactivity (e.g., 30 seconds) or when the device is put to sleep and then reawakened, the content automatically resumes.
