System and method for augmented reality with complex augmented reality video image tags

A method of enabling a user in an augmented reality gaming venue to use a complex augmented reality system and a mobile device to display complex augmented reality on a display device, the method comprising:

• enabling a user to capture the output from the display device via a camera on the mobile device, wherein the output includes one or more images;
• sending one or more images via a network to a server;
• determining if there are one or more image tags within a video display on the display device that are viewable in the live camera image;
• using the one or more image tags to access information used by the augmented reality system;
• and
• overlaying virtual graphics in a position within 3D space on a display of the mobile device that augment the display of the display device with 3D effects to create complex augmented reality, when one or more image tags are detected within a video display on the display device that are viewable in the live camera image.
