  • Publication number: 20130293581
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for displaying advertisements to customers using multiple display devices that are positioned in a back-to-back orientation. Visual content captured by one display device can be transmitted to the other display device for display such that the display devices appear to be transparent. In this way, items positioned in front of one display device can be captured by the display device and augmented prior to being displayed on the other display device. These augmentations can provide dynamic and customized advertisements of items as they appear on a shelf or other location within a retail environment to thereby increase a customer's interest in the product while the customer is near the product.
