Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for providing augmented reality information is disclosed. The method includes capturing an image of a set of items with an image capturing component coupled to a network-enabled computing device associated with a user identifier. The captured image is processed to identify each item of the set of items while a predefined list of user'"'"'s preferences is retrieved using the user identifier. For each identified item, checking is made if the item matches a condition related to the predefined list of user'"'"'s preferences. And based on the matching result, item information is conveyed to the network-enabled computing device and overlaid on the image.
