Claim:
1. A method for recognition of and interaction with a transaction card having a plurality of surfaces, at least one of the surfaces having a visual pattern applied thereto, the method comprising: collecting one or more real world images including the transaction card via an image sensor directed toward at least one of the surfaces having the visual patterns, the image sensor functionally linked to a computing device; displaying a first image layer comprising said one or more real world images on a display unit functionally linked to the computing device, said one or more images representing an orientation of the transaction card to the image sensor in three-dimensional space; electronically comparing the visual pattern in the collected one or more real world images with reference card patterns, wherein the visual pattern is identified as associated with a particular transaction card or type of transaction card; displaying a second image layer comprising a virtual object associated with the identified transaction card or type of transaction card on the display unit, wherein the virtual object is overlaid and occlusive with respect to at least a portion of the first image layer; upon identifying a dynamic trigger action by a user of the computing device with respect to the virtual object, executing an exchange of data associated with the transaction card between the client device and a remote server, wherein the dynamic trigger action comprises enabling a user to engage the virtual object with a pointer in the same three-dimensional space of the camera viewing area as the transaction card; and generating a third image layer associated with the pointer which is occlusive with respect to corresponding portions of the second image layer.
