• receiving environment image data containing the image of the environment;
• scaling an item image for the selected item based on dimensions of the environment;
• generating an augmented reality image that depicts the scaled item image disposed in the environment;
• receiving a selection of the scaled item image in the augmented reality image;
• and
• displaying at least one dimension associated with the item in the augmented reality image responsive to receiving the selection of the scaled item image.
