Filed in January and granted last week, PayPal’s patent entitled Augmented Reality View of Product Instructions, details a method for displaying relevant information about products including reviews and associated accessories, as well as purchasing options, all within the system.
[...] The patent would allow a user wearing an AR device to look at an object and PayPal to instantly recognise what they are looking at and in turn display relevant information such as reviews, similar products, and purchasing options.
