Abstract
Disclosed herein is an augmented reality (AR) system that provides information about purchasing alternatives to a user who is about to purchase an item or product (e.g., a target product) in a physical retail location. In some variations, offers to purchase the product and/or an alternative product are provided by the merchant and/or competitors via the AR system. An offer negotiation server (ONS) aggregates offer data provided various external parties (EPs) and displays these offers to the user as the user is considering the purchase of a target product. In some variations, an AR system may be configured to facilitate the process of purchasing items at a retail location.
