Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating information associated with one or more items to an operator through a video display. Indicia, such as a bar code or an RFID signal, are captured from items and processed into data, and the data is transmitted to a video display when the items are within the display zone for the video display. Data for each item includes an item component and an information component, wherein the item component communicates to an operator viewing a video display which item is associated with the information component and its relative position to the operator, and the information component communicates to an operator the information associated with the item. Information communicated to the operator may include sorting or handling instructions for the item. To assist the operator in processing each item, the information component is displayed adjacent the item component.
