1. A method for visual alignment of Reflective particle tags comprising:
creating a three-dimensional digital model of a reticle;
processing a plurality of features based on the digital model;
generating an Augmented Reality application; and
deploying the Augmented Reality application on a camera platform;
wherein the step of processing a plurality of features based on the digital model further comprises positioning the three-dimensional model above a digital representation of a fiducial image disposed on a reflective particle tag.
