1. A computer-based method of activating content, the method comprising:
obtaining, by at least one processor and via at least one image sensor, a digital representation of an environment including a geo-location of an electronic device, wherein the digital representation of the environment at the geo-location represents at least one of a shopping or purchasing interaction with the environment;
recognizing, by the at least one processor, at least two objects associated with the environment based on features extracted from the digital representation, wherein the at least two objects include at least one virtual object comprising a rendered image of a virtual machine;
determining, by the at least one processor, that the at least two objects including the at least one virtual object are valid authentication objects based at least in part on the geo-location of the electronic device;
determining, by the at least one processor, at least one content access level based on a juxtaposition of features related to the valid authentication objects and based on the geo-location of the electronic device, wherein the juxtaposition comprises a relative position and a relative orientation related to the valid authentication objects, the relative orientation comprising a selected orientation of at least one part of the at least two objects;
activating, by the at least one processor, content on the electronic device according to the at least one content access level, wherein the at least one content access level includes a transaction level; and
enabling, by the at least one processor, a transaction within the virtual machine on the electronic device related to the activated content according to the transaction level.
