Abstract

A system includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor circuit, the instructions cause the processor circuit to identify an item in a field of view of a user wearing a head-mounted display device. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a monetary value associated with the item. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to determine a gaming offer associated with the monetary value. The instructions further cause the processor circuit to cause the head-mounted display device to display the gaming offer, wherein the gaming offer is associated with the item in the field of view of the user.
