• the tracking system may comprise other optical elements such as a mirror such as one or more optical fibers, one or more lenses.
• the screen may be used to enhance the contrast of the third authentication mark and / or the second security sign.
• the second security sign displayed on the screen is fixed, there may be alternatively a second security sign that is regularly changed on the screen so that with the same first security sign affixed to it, the third authentication mark also changes regularly (with each change of the second security sign). We will thus have an evolution, a movement of the third authentication mark.
• the device may be used to authenticate an object, the detection of a counterfeit can then come directly from the device through the possible observation of the third authentication mark by the camera of the device or may be left to the discretion of the user who will visualize the effects produced.
