1. A computerized method for electronically associating a plurality of digital content items with a physical item for generating an electronic output based at least on an image capture of said physical item, the method comprising:
capturing a key associated with said physical item;
receiving an image via an image capture device associated with a mobile computing system, the image being a digital representation of the physical item;
electronically processing the digital representation of the physical image to determine a fingerprint value associated therewith;
based at least on the key, accessing a first software executable for comparing the fingerprint value with a first reference value;
upon authentication of the user based on the key and the comparison of the fingerprint value with the first reference value, electronically receiving content items from a content storage device; and
electronically generating an augmented reality output display of the content items in a visual overlay relative to a display of the image of the physical item on the mobile computing device.
