## Abstract

A system comprises a database configured to store product data associated with a plurality of retailers, retail locations, and augmented reality experiences related to the product data; at least one hardware processor coupled with the database; and more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, receive a purchase of a gift card from a first user, wherein the purchase specifies a second user to receive the gift card, a retailer, retailer location(s), gift card value, and augmented reality experience, receive a personalized message for the second user, from the first user, to be associated with the gift card, send a notification to the second user with instructions for retrieving the gift card at the specified retail location, receive location information from the second user, verify the location information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising using at least one hardware processor to:
receive a purchase of a gift card from a first user, wherein the purchase specifies a second user to receive the gift card, a retailer, retailer location(s), gift card value, and augmented reality experience,
receive a personalized message for the second user, from the first user, to be associated with the gift card,
send a notification to the second user with instructions for retrieving the gift card at the specified retail location,
receive location information from the second user,
verify the location information,
present the augmented reality experience to the second user, and
present the gift card to the second user for redemption once the augmented reality experience is complete.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the location information comprises at least one of GPS information or video or images of the location, and wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to, when the location information includes images or videos, to use computer vision algorithms to verify the location information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein at least one hardware processor is further configured to charge the first user for the gift card amount wither when the augmented reality experience is launched or when the gift card is redeemed.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the personalized message comprises at least one of a personalized text, audio, video, or hologram/3D message.

### Claim 5

A system comprising:
a database configured to store product data associated with a plurality of retailers, and retail locations, and augmented reality experiences related to the product data;
at least one hardware processor coupled with the database; and
one or more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,
receive a purchase of a gift card from a first user, wherein the purchase specifies a second user to receive the gift card, a retailer, retailer location(s), gift card value, and augmented reality experience,
receive a personalized message for the second user, from the first user, to be associated with the gift card,
send a notification to the second user with instructions for retrieving the gift card at the specified retail location,
receive location information from the second user,
verify the location information,
present the augmented reality experience to the second user, and
present the gift card to the second user for redemption once the augmented reality experience is complete.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the location information comprises at least one of GPS information or video or images of the location, and wherein the one or more software modules that are further configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor and when the location information includes images or videos to use computer vision algorithms to verify the location information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein one or more software modules that are further configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor to charge the first user for the gift card amount wither when the augmented reality experience is launched or when the gift card is redeemed.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the personalized message comprises at least one of a personalized text, audio, video, or hologram/3D message.

### Claim 9

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive a purchase of a gift card from a first user, wherein the purchase specifies a second user to receive the gift card, a retailer, retailer location(s), gift card value, and augmented reality experience,
receive a personalized message for the second user, from the first user, to be associated with the gift card,
send a notification to the second user with instructions for retrieving the gift card at the specified retail location,
receive location information from the second user,
verify the location information,
present the augmented reality experience to the second user, and
present the gift card to the second user for redemption once the augmented reality experience is complete.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the location information comprises at least one of GPS information or video or images of the location, and the instructions, when executed by a processor, and when the location information includes images or videos, further cause the processor to use computer vision algorithms to verify the location information.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to charge the first user for the gift card amount wither when the augmented reality experience is launched or when the gift card is redeemed.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the personalized message comprises at least one of a personalized text, audio, video, or hologram/3D message.
