Collective network of augmented reality users

A system for utilizing one or more collective networks of users with image capture devices and augmented reality to identify objects captured using the image capture devices and provide offers to users within the one or more collective networks of users, the system comprising:

• a memory device having computer readable program code store thereon;
• a communication device;
• and
• a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device, and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer readable program code to:
• receive a real-time video stream, wherein the video stream is captured through the use of a first data capture device operatively coupled to a first mobile device of a first user in the one or more collective networks of users;
• identify a first object from the video stream;
• retrieve data about the first object;
• present the data about the first object to the first mobile device, wherein presenting the data about the first object comprises superimposing the data about the first object over the video stream on the first mobile device of the first user;
• determine a notification preference associated with the first object, wherein the notification preference comprises at least a notification type, one or more objects, and one or more users;
• determine that a second user within the one or more collective networks of users is interested in a second object based on the data about the first object and the notification preference, wherein each user within the one or more collective networks of users has a mobile device with an image capture device operatively coupled to the mobile device, wherein each image capture device is configured to capture images of the one or more objects, wherein each mobile device is configured to receive data about the one or more objects;
• present a notification about the second object to a second mobile device of the second user based on at least the notification preference, wherein the notification is presented when it is determined that the second user is interested in the second object, wherein the notification is presented as a video link of the video stream on the second mobile device of the second user, and wherein the video stream comprises data about the second object superimposed on the video stream;
• receive a response from the second user, wherein the response further comprises one or more actions the second user wishes to take in response to receiving the notification, wherein the one or more actions comprise at least an indication to purchase the second object;
• transmit a request received from the second user to the first user to purchase the second object, wherein the request comprises providing the first user with access to funds associated with a financial institution account of the second user by providing information associated with the financial institution account of the second user to the first user, and wherein the second user is virtually present via the one or more collective networks of users;
• and
• receive an indication that the first user placed an order for the purchase of the second object for the second user using the funds accessed from the financial institution account of the second user.

A computer program product for utilizing one or more collective networks of users with image capture devices and augmented reality to identify objects captured using the image capture devices and provide offers to users within the one or more collective networks of users, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion configured for receiving a real-time video stream, wherein the video stream is captured through the use of a first data capture device operatively coupled to a first mobile device of a first user in the one or more collective networks of users;
• an executable portion configured for identifying a first object from the video stream;
• an executable portion configured for retrieving data about the first object;
• an executable portion configured for presenting the data about the first object to the first mobile device, wherein presenting the data about the first object comprises superimposing the data about the first object over the video stream on the first mobile device of the first user;
• an executable portion configured for determining a notification preference associated with the first object, wherein the notification preference comprises at least a notification type, one or more objects, and one or more users;
• an executable portion configured for determining that a second user within the one or more collective networks of users is interested in a second object based on the data about the first object and the notification preference, wherein each user within the one or more collective networks of users has a mobile device with an image capture device operatively coupled to the mobile device, wherein each image capture device is configured to capture images of the one or more objects, wherein each mobile device is configured to receive data about the one or more objects;
• an executable portion configured for presenting a notification about the second object to a second mobile device of the second user based on at least the notification preference, wherein the notification is presented when it is determined that the second user is interested in the second object, wherein the notification is presented as a video link of the video stream on the second mobile device of the second user, and wherein the video stream comprises data about the second object superimposed on the video stream;
• an executable portion configured for receiving a response from the second user, wherein the response further comprises one or more actions the second user wishes to take in response to receiving the notification, wherein the one or more actions comprise at least an indication to purchase the second object;
• an executable portion configured for transmitting a request received from the second user to the first user to purchase the second object, wherein the request comprises providing the first user with access to funds associated with a financial institution account of the second user by providing information associated with the financial institution account of the second user to the first user, and wherein the second user is virtually present via the one or more collective networks of users;
• and
• an executable portion configured for receiving an indication that the first user placed an order for the purchase of the second object for the second user using the funds accessed from the financial institution account of the second user.
