1. A method for accessing digital content associated with a selected area within a structure, the method comprising the steps of:
a) generating a two-dimensional representation of the structure in a user interactive interface on a smart device;
b) creating a Tag by associating positional coordinates with digital content;
c) including in the user interactive interface an icon comprising a dynamic portion representative of the Tag
d) generating an area of interest within the two-dimensional representation of the structure, the area of interest comprising a geometric shape;
e) including the positional coordinates associated with the digital content within the geometric shape;
f) using the smart device, receiving multiple disparate energy wavelengths into an energy receiving sensor in the smart device, at an instance in time, the disparate energy wavelengths received from different geospatial locations; and indicating the disparate energy wavelengths in the user interactive interface with the icon comprising the dynamic portion representative of the Tag;
g) activating an interactive area of the user interactive interface on the smart device, the interactive area comprising the area of interest; and
h) based upon the activating of the interactive area of the user interactive interface on the smart device, displaying the digital content associated with the positional coordinates.
