Hello Everyone I am in need of some assistance for a project I am trying to build to help a friend starting a new business. He is wanting to create a display wall in his new store that is interactive to the the products displayed. Basically he wants to have shelves built around a 42" monitor and display products on the shelves. When a product is picked up, a product data sheet would instantly display on the monitor. I was thinking of maybe using reed switches on the shelves with small magnets attached to the product. My issue is finding software for Windows and a USB/Serial type I/O device that would accomplish this task.
Example - Customer comes in and removes a Scanner Radio from the shelf, poof a data sheet say in a JPG format is instantly displayed on the monitor. Customer places the Scanner Radio back onto the shelf and the monitor pops back to a standard store name/logo image.
Any help on existing hardware/software solutions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you
