1. A method comprising:
identifying, using an augmented reality device, a target product that is being considered for purchase by a user of the augmented reality device, wherein the identifying the target product using the augmented reality device comprises detecting that the user is viewing the target product at a retail location, wherein the detecting comprises:
acquiring, using an image sensor of the augmented reality device, an image of the user, and
executing instructions stored on a computer-readable medium to recognize a visual feature based on the image, the visual feature indicating a proximity between the target product and the user;
determining a target product price corresponding to the target product;
in accordance with the augmented reality device identifying the target product being considered for purchase, beginning a negotiation interval;
transmitting target product data from the augmented reality device to a remote server, wherein the target product data comprises target product identification data corresponding to the target product and further comprises the target product price;
receiving, by the augmented reality device, a purchase offer generated on the remote server, wherein the purchase offer comprises a message, wherein the generating the purchase offer on the remote server comprises identifying, using the product identification data, an alternate product and an alternate product offer price, and wherein the purchase offer is transmitted to the augmented reality device by the remote server in accordance with a determination, by the remote server, that the alternate product offer price is less than the target product price;
in response to receiving the purchase offer, displaying the purchase offer as augmented reality content on a display of the augmented reality device to the user;
tracking, by the image sensor of the augmented reality device, gestures of the user and executing instructions stored on a computer-readable medium to determine whether any of the tracked gestures corresponds to a command to accept the purchase offer;
determining an acceptance of the purchase offer in accordance with a recognition that at least one of the tracked gestures corresponds to the command to accept the purchase offer, and further in accordance with a location of the user determined via a location sensor of the augmented reality device;
in response to determining the acceptance of the purchase offer, terminating the negotiation interval;
detecting, by one or more sensors of the augmented reality device, that the target product has been picked up and is carried by the user;
generating, via the augmented reality device, a first alert upon detecting that the alternate product has been purchased during the negotiation interval and the target product is carried by the user, wherein:
a scanner at the retail location is configured to:
detect that the target product carried by the user is near an exit, and
transmit identification data of the target product to the remote server to determine whether the target item has been purchased by the user, and
the remote server is further configured to:
determine that the target product has not been purchased by the user, and
automatically charge a payment account of the user for the target product using pre-stored payment information; and
based on the automatically charging the payment account for the target product, receiving, via the augmented reality device, a second alert generated by the remote server, wherein the second alert indicates occurrence of a purchase transaction in accordance with the detection of the target product carried by the user near the exit and further in accordance with the determination that the target product had not been purchased by the user.
