System and method for an augmented reality tag viewer

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to perform a process, the process comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a low-energy encrypted radio frequency beacon from a tag attached to a product, the beacon uniquely identifies the product;
• retrieving, by the device from a source other than the beacon, for the product identified by the received beacon information other than global positioning system (GPS)-type information that provides at least one additional description of a characteristic related to the nature of the product itself;
• determining if the product is present in a field of view of a camera of the device;
• upon determining that the identified product is present in the field of view of the camera, matching the product in the field of view of the camera with the retrieved information;
• and
• upon determining that the product in the field of view matches the retrieved information, overlaying an interface over a display of the device showing the field of view of the camera that includes an image of the product being currently captured by the camera to highlight the product.

A system for providing an augmented reality tag viewer, comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
