Concurrent visualization tool using augmented reality to improve decision making

A system for providing real-time notifications on affordability and advisability of purchasing goods or services using augmented reality (AR), the system comprising a recommendation server configured to:

• receive from an AR device associated with a user, visual data representing a view through a viewing area of the AR device, the visual data comprises geolocation data indicating a geolocation of the AR device;
• identify an image of an object included in the visual data;
• determine, based on the visual data, a product identifier associated with the object;
• determine an attempt by the user to purchase the object;
• generate, in response to determining the attempt, recommendation data based on the product identifier and an account associated with the user;
• and
• send the recommendation data to the AR device to cause the AR device to display the recommendation data to the user.

A method for providing real-time notifications on affordability and advisability of purchasing goods or services using augmented reality, the method comprising:

• detecting, by AR device associated with a user, an observation of an object by a user through a viewing area of the AR device;
• capturing, by the AR device and in response to the detection of the observation, visual data representing a view through the viewing area of the AR device;
• sending, by the AR device, the visual data to a recommendation server, the visual data comprises geolocation data indicating the geolocation of the AR device;
• receiving, by the AR device, recommendation data from the recommendation server, the recommendation data indicating whether a purchase of the object prevents the user from achieving a predetermined financial milestone associated with the user;
• displaying, by the AR device and in the viewing area of the AR device, the recommendation data to the user;
• detecting, by the AR device and in the viewing area of the AR device, an overlap of the recommendation data and the object;
• and
• moving, by the AR device, the recommendation data to a region of the viewing area of the AR device to avoid the overlap.
