1. Apparatus for accessing digital content associated with a selected area within a structure, the apparatus comprising:
a) a smart device supportable by a person, the smart device comprising; an optical capture device, a touchscreen display, and a digital storage storing executable software code in logical communication with a processor, the software code executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to:
i) generate a three-dimensional representation of the structure in a user interactive interface on the smart device;
ii) create a tag by associating positional coordinates with the digital content;
iii) generate an area of interest within the three-dimensional representation of the structure, with the area of interest comprising a geometric shape;
iv) include the positional coordinates associated with the digital content within the geometric shape;
v) activate an interactive area of the user interactive interface on the smart device, the interactive area comprising the area of interest; and
vi) display the digital content associated with the positional coordinates,
wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to:
identify a background of an Agent activating the interactive area; and
display digital content specific to the background of the Agent once the background of the Agent has been identified.
