1. A method of augmenting reality of an image, the method comprising:
providing a lenticular lens for viewing an image;
providing at least two fiducial markers in the image;
detecting, with a first sensor located at a first distance from the image, a first fiducial marker,
detecting, with a second sensor located at a second distance from the image, a second fiducial marker,
wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are located adjacent the lenticular lens;
wherein the detection of the each of the first and the second fiducial markers triggers a computing process;
wherein the second distance is closer to the image than the first distance,
wherein the second fiducial marker is capable of being detected by the second sensor from the second distance, but not from the first distance, and
wherein the computing process retrieves previously stored information that is linked to at least one of the first fiducial marker and the image, or to the second fiducial marker and the image, and wherein such previously stored information is delivered to a user interface on a screen.
