====== Ticket Validators ======

Commonly found on public transport systems for the purpose of validating the tickets or passes of entering riders. Some will be found at cultural locations, either at high level (museums, "musical" theaters) or a low level (stadiums, movie theaters). It is presumed that these will often run a Windows CE or Linux variant, on MIPS, ARM, or RISC CPUs.

==== Operating Systems ====

=== Windows CE ===

Almost nothing is detailed about this by the OP, but with research, it may be possible to figure out the model of this, as the location of this validator is known. That probably isn't necessary though, as these devices are quite common across many public transport systems around the world.

Must be controlled with VNC, despite having a video output on the device itself. Latency is minimal, luckily. Unsurprisingly, it has an underlying Windows CE system, so the true EOP is running this system and making it “open”, in whatever way that is done.
