Disclosed is a method and apparatus for providing information to a camera associated with a computing device. The apparatus includes a base portion having a bottomside. The base portion further has an interior region disposed therein, that provides an illuminable surface. Further, a machine-readable code is included that is supported by the surface, and a lens is disposed between the code and the bottomside. The base is configured to seat the lens over the camera associated with the computing device in a first orientation and a second orientation. Further, the machine-readable code presents, for reading by the computing device, first information in response to the lens being seated over the camera in the first orientation and second information in response to the lens being seated over the camera in the second orientation, respectively.
