1. A method of providing augmentation data to sensor-equipped user devices, the method comprising the acts:

  • providing artwork for a first printed item, the artwork including a machine-readable code, the machine-readable code encoding a plural-bit identifier;

    creating an augmentation to be presented on a display of a sensor-equipped user device, when the artwork is imaged by the sensor-equipped device, and storing augmentation data defining said augmentation, in association with said identifier;

    in connection with imaging of the artwork by a first sensor-equipped device, (a) logging, in a database record, data associating said device and the first printed item, indicating said device has interacted with the first printed item; and

    (b) sending the stored augmentation data to said device, for presentation of the augmentation on a display of said device; and

    in connection with imaging of the artwork by a second sensor-equipped device, (a) logging, in a database record, data associating the second device and the first printed item, indicating the second device has interacted with the first printed item;

    (b) determining, from previously-logged data, that the second device has previously interacted with different printed items, including different machine readable codes; and

    (c) based on said determination, sending augmentation data to the second device that is different than the stored augmentation data sent to the first device.
