1. A method for interacting between wireless transmission Nodes in a wireless communication area, the method comprising the steps of:
a) transceiving a first wireless communication between a first Node at a first position within the wireless communication area and a smart device;
b) transceiving a second wireless communication between the first Node and a second Node at a second position within the wireless communication area;
c) transceiving a third wireless communication between at least one of the first Node and the second Node, and a third Node located at a third position within the wireless communication area, each of the first Node, the second Node, and the third Node comprising a respective processor, digital storage and wireless transceiver;
d) generating positional coordinates for the first Node based upon the first wireless communication, the second wireless communication, and the third wireless communication;
e) associating digital content with the first Node;
f) establishing a position of the smart device relative to the first Node;
g) generating a user interactive interface comprising a digital representation of a direction of interest comprising the position of the smart device relative to the first Node;
h) receiving a user input into a dynamic portion of the user interactive interface; and
i) based upon the user input received into the dynamic portion of the user interactive interface, displaying the digital content associated with the first Node.
