Abstract
Methods and systems for generating a planogram for a retail facility include an electronic device having a display screen and a camera. After a product physically stocked on a shelf on the sales floor of the retail store and contemplated to be replaced on the shelf by a better performing product is identified, a diminished reality virtual image of the location on the shelf where the product is physically positioned (but with the product to be replaced being omitted) is generated on the display screen. A virtual list including suggested replacement products selectable to virtually replace the product is then generated on the display screen, enabling selection of a replacement product. Then, based on the selected replacement product, a planogram is generated for the retail facility, with the selected replacement product being virtually displayed at the location from which the product physically positioned on the shelf was virtually removed.
