Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided in order to present different types of information, such as private information and public information, in a manner that preserves the confidentiality of the private information. In the context of a method, a determination is made as to whether information that is to be displayed is private. If the information is private, the method may cause the presentation of an obscured representation of the information on a non-private display. The method also causes the presentation of the information, such as an unobscured representation of the information, on a private pass-through display concurrent with the presentation of the obscured representation of the information on the non-private display. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
