1. An augmented reality digital object image placement and anchoring system comprising:
a mobile device operable by a user engaged in an augmented reality environment, wherein the mobile device comprises a processor, a camera, and an audio output device configured to output an audio signal;
an electronic coaster device with an audio input device configured to receive the audio signal output by the audio output device of the mobile device, a triple bandpass filter configured to process the audio signal into three separate frequencies, and a visual output source configured to visually output light at different wavelengths based on the three separate frequencies of the audio signal;
an application that runs on the processor of the mobile device and is configured to place, anchor, and visually output a digital object in a field of view of the user engaged in the augmented reality environment by (i) establishing a visual handshake between the mobile device and the electronic coaster device based on the light visually output by the electronic coaster device in agreement with the audio signal output by the audio output device of the mobile device and (ii) visually outputting the digital object as placed and anchored in the augmented reality environment according to the field of view of the user.
