The digital element is located at a dynamically updated location. It is determined that the digital element is to be rendered. A representation of the digital element is generated in a rendered view of at least a portion of the region. Content of the digital element is provided upon receiving an indication that the digital element has been selected. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: identifying a digital element located within a region near a device, wherein the digital element is virtually located at a dynamically updated location with real-world physical longitude and latitude components that dynamically change to different locations over time for the digital element, but a vertical location of the digital element is specified relative to an augmented reality observing platform; determining that the digital element is to be rendered; obtaining a captured image of at least a portion of the region using a camera of the device; using a processor to generate at the vertical location specified relative to the augmented reality observing platform, a representation of the digital element in a rendered augmented reality view provided via the augmented reality observing platform using at least a portion of the captured image obtained using the camera of the device; and providing content of the digital element in response to receiving an indication associated with the digital element received using the augmented reality observing platform. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamically updated location of the digital element is based on a dynamic current location of a reference location device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the dynamic current location of the reference location device is provided to a server by the reference location device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the dynamically updated location of the digital element is determined based on an offset relative to the dynamic current location of the reference location device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the dynamically updated location of the digital element is updated to be at a latitude and longitude of the dynamic current location of the reference location device but the vertical location of the digital element is different from a vertical location component of the dynamic current location of the reference location device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein generating the representation of the digital element in the augmented reality rendered view includes determining a filtered location of the augmented reality observing platform based at least in part on the dynamically updated location in a manner that reduces a rate of change of the dynamically updated location. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein generating the representation of the digital element in the rendered augmented reality view includes calculating a directional heading value of the digital element based at least in part on a determined geographical location of the augmented reality observing platform. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the indication associated with the digital element received using the augmented reality observing platform is associated with a capture of the digital element using the augmented reality observing platform. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the digital element includes a user profile of a target user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein providing content of the digital element in response to receiving the indication includes awarding the content of the digital element to a user. ### Claim 11 A system for rendering a digital element, comprising: one or more processors configured to: identify a digital element located within a region near a device, wherein the digital element is virtually located at a dynamically updated location with real-world physical longitude and latitude components that dynamically change to different locations over time for the digital element, but a vertical location of the digital element is specified relative to an augmented reality observing platform; determine that the digital element is to be rendered; obtain a captured image of at least a portion of the region using a camera of the device; generate at the vertical location specified relative to the augmented reality observing platform, a representation of the digital element in a rendered augmented reality view provided via the augmented reality observing platform using at least a portion of the captured image obtained using the camera of the device;
