If by "stand-alone" you mean without connecting the scanner to the network but not to a PC, then yes you can use ATLAS 3D standalone with a tablet, phone, etc. If by stand-alone you mean hooking up a touchscreen to the HDMI and USB ports of the Raspberry Pi, I couldn't say whether Raspberry Pi supported this mode of input or not. If it does, then yes you can control ATLAS 3D that way by using the built in graphical interface of the Raspberry Pi. If by stand-alone you mean attaching a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to ATLAS 3D, then yes you can control the ATLAS 3D this way as well by using the built in graphical interface of the Raspberry Pi.
Well, what I meant is that it could be somehow controlled and used without needing another computer or even a network connection. Such as just simply plugging a monitor, keyboard, and mouse into it.
At first when you said it could, I assumed that the FreeLSS software had some sort of GUI, or at least a CLI interface. But then you mentioned you needed a web browser, so then I am guessing that means the FreeLSS software can only be controlled by a web browser and has no GUI, and if you had plugged in a keyboard and monitor directly you would just be connecting to 127.0.0.1 instead of a LAN IP?
That's why I was asking about a touchscreen, I was under the impression that the FreeLSS software had a GUI if you plugged in a screen and keyboard/mouse directly, and was wondering if instead of all that clutter with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse all over the place... it could be made compact by just using an LCD touchscreen for both the screen and input, since there are many available for the Pi. But since you would still need to use a web browser, that would be a mess as you would essentially be attempting to control a web browser through a touchscreen, not the FreeLSS software directly.
Also, I haven't looked into it, but don't many of those screens designed for a Pi connect to the dedicated DSI Display Connector, and not through HDMI?
