1. A method for managing an augmented reality social media platform, the method comprising:
providing an augmented reality social media application to a plurality of devices, the augmented reality social media application for providing each of the plurality of devices with one or more augmented reality user interfaces of the augmented reality social media platform;
receiving at the augmented reality social media platform from an optical capture element of a first device belonging to a first user of the augmented reality social media platform, a still and/or moving image of a first real-world proximity surrounding the first device, the first real-world proximity being a part of a real-world defined area, the augmented reality social media platform including a virtual mapping corresponding to the real-world defined area, the virtual mapping including a plurality of leasable virtual subdivisions, each of the leasable virtual subdivisions corresponding to a real-world subdivision of the real-world defined area;
receiving from a second user of the augmented reality social media platform a request to lease a first virtual subdivision of the plurality of leasable virtual subdivisions;
assigning within the augmented reality social media platform a first virtual leasehold corresponding to the first virtual subdivision to the second user;
displaying to the first user via a first display of the one or more augmented reality user interfaces an augmented display of the first real-world proximity;
when the first real-world proximity corresponds to a first real-world subdivision corresponding to the first virtual subdivision, displaying via the first display one or more virtual indicators associated with the first virtual leasehold, wherein the one or more virtual indicators includes an indicator selected from the group consisting of an indicator of a virtual e-commerce store, a sign, an image, a border, a product for sale, a visual indicator of a product for sale, a visual indicator associated with a pop-up graphic, and any combinations thereof;
temporarily allocating within the augmented reality social media platform one or more shared real-world offerings from a first inventory listing of the first virtual leasehold to a second virtual leasehold corresponding to a second virtual subdivision of the plurality of leasable virtual subdivisions; and
providing a second augmented reality user interface of the augmented reality social media platform to a third user of the augmented reality social media platform, the second augmented reality user interface including:
a display of a second proximity surrounding the third user, the second proximity including a second real-world subdivision corresponding to the second virtual subdivision, and
a display of a second virtual indicator associated with a first one of the one or more shared real-world offerings.
