Have you looked into the official Win 10 Viewer app? You can set a Windows 10 machine to boot into Kiosk mode and launch the app. Can even have it automatically open full screen and open a pre-set report which it will then scroll through pages and bookmarks and refresh. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/enhancing-presentation-mode-with-slideshow-in-windows-power-bi-app/

 

User can interact with it and the refresh functionality pauses, though I think it requires them to unpause it manually if they want it to cycle again. But they can navigate around and view whatever reports you've given the kiosk account access to.

 

You'd have to 'build' it yourself, so a small Windows 10 machine strapped to the back of a touchscreen on a cart/stand/wall. Could always buy a surface hub, but those are pricey.
