Abstract
Enabling augmented reality transactions may include: sending, to a seller device, a buyer identifier associated with a buyer device; receiving, from the seller device, product metadata associated with the seller device and determined by a server based on preferences associated with the buyer identifier; and rendering, as an augmented reality (AR) overlay, the product metadata relative to the seller device.

A method of enabling augmented reality transactions, the method comprising:
- sending, to a seller device, a buyer identifier associated with a buyer device;
- receiving, from the seller device, product metadata associated with the seller device and determined by a server based on preferences associated with the buyer identifier;
- and
- rendering, as an augmented reality (AR) overlay, the product metadata relative to the seller device.
An apparatus for enabling augmented reality transactions, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
- sending, to a seller device, a buyer identifier associated with a buyer device;
- receiving, from the seller device, product metadata associated with the seller device and determined by a server based on preferences associated with the buyer identifier;
- and
- rendering, as an augmented reality (AR) overlay, the product metadata relative to the seller device.
A computer program product for enabling augmented reality transactions, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:
- sending, to a seller device, a buyer identifier associated with a buyer device;
- receiving, from the seller device, product metadata associated with the seller device and determined by a server based on preferences associated with the buyer identifier;
- and
