1. A system for providing an interactive augmented environment, the system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;
receive, from a first computing device, first environmental data comprising first audio and first visual information representing a physical environment;
identify, based on the first environmental data, a perceived environmental indicator indicative of a virtual location corresponding to a physical location in the physical environment;
augment the first environmental data by adding, based on the perceived environmental indicator, virtual environmental data associated with the perceived environmental indicator and comprising data associated with a merchant and indicator display data corresponding to the perceived environmental indicator, the indicator display data being unrepresented in the physical environment;
transmit, to the first computing device, the virtual environmental data to create an augmented environment that combines the virtual environmental data with the first environmental data;
receive, from a second computing device, second environmental data comprising second audio and second visual information representing the physical environment;
identify, based on the second environmental data, the perceived environmental indicator;
transmit, to the second computing device, the virtual environmental data associated with the perceived environmental indicator to create an augmented environment combining the virtual environmental data with the second environmental data;
receive, from the second computing device, user input data comprising an instruction to modify the indicator display data;
modify, based on the user input data, the indicator display data to form modified virtual environmental data;
receive, from the first computing device, third environmental data comprising third audio and third visual information representing the physical environment;
identify, based on the third environmental data, the perceived environmental indicator; and
transmit, to the first computing device, the modified virtual environmental data to update the augmented environment to display the modified indicator display data.

Abstract
A system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform steps of a method for providing an interactive virtual environment. The system may receive environmental data, and augment the environmental data by adding virtual environmental data. The system may then provide this virtual environment to two or more devices. The system can then receive user input, and modify the virtual environment in response to those inputs.
