1. A micro-optic security device comprising:
an image projection system comprising:
an array of focusing elements;
an array of image icon elements disposed proximate to the array of focusing elements such that at least one synthetic image is projected by the image projection system when at least portions of the array of image icon elements are viewed through at least portions of the array of focusing elements,
wherein the array of image icon elements comprises a first set of image icons, which when viewed through the array of focusing elements, project one or more targeting images of a first set of targeting images wherein the one or more targeting images of the first set of targeting images comprise a synthetically magnified image,
wherein the array of image icon elements comprises a second set of image icons, which when viewed through the array of focusing elements at a predetermined viewing angle providing an alignment phase, provide one or more reward images, wherein the one or more reward images comprise a static image; and
an array of control pattern elements integrated across the array of image icon elements, wherein the array of control pattern elements comprises a control pattern of windows or holes disposed at a location within the micro-optic security device alignable with focal points of focusing elements of the array of focusing elements, through which the second set of image icons are visible through the array of focusing elements at the predetermined viewing angle providing the alignment phase,
wherein the micro-optic security device provides a targeting effect, whereby, at the predetermined viewing angle providing the alignment phase, the one or more reward images are revealed.
