1. A method for performing an augmented reality location operation comprising:
attaching a continuous augmented reality tape to a data center rack in which a plurality of components are mounted, the continuous augmented reality tape comprising a plurality of unique identifiers, the continuous augmented reality tape continuously vertically extending across the data center rack in which the plurality of components are mounted, each of the plurality of unique identifiers corresponding to predetermined heights of the plurality of components such that when the continuous augmented reality tape continuously vertically extends across the plurality of components each of the plurality of components has an associated unique identifier;
identifying an augmented reality target via an augmented reality tracking method, the augmented reality target comprising the unique identifier of the continuous augmented reality tape, the identifying being performed by an augmented reality device, the augmented reality device comprising a camera and a means for visually providing information; and,
generating an augmented reality projection to a location on a component of the plurality of components based upon the identifying the augmented reality target, the augmented reality projection comprising a rendering, the rendering being overlaid to align with an object associated with the location on the component based upon the augmented reality target; and wherein
each of the plurality of components comprises a respective data center asset mounted in a data center rack; and,
the location on the component comprises a location on the data center asset mounted in the data center asset rack.
