Does an application exist that will cause the computer to switch (bring in to focus) between two different applications, on a timer? This is for Windows 7.

I need this for a screen that will display publicly to customers. I want the screen to switch between two different applications every, say, 30 seconds. I figure there are enough businesses out there will customer-facing monitors these days that something simple like this must exist!
