🧭 AR Navigation Pose Error: 2D Map and Camera View

Interactive 2D model of why augmented reality navigation arrows drift off the street: a walker with noisy GPS, a compass and a gyro fused by a complementary filter, shown on a top-down city map next to a live phone camera view where the AR route is drawn with the estimated pose and compared with the true route.
