AR Navigation Simulator

Interactive AR navigation simulator: watch a pedestrian follow a waypoint loop while raw GPS fixes, IMU dead-reckoning and a Kalman-style sensor-fusion estimate compete for accuracy, with GPS accuracy and IMU drift tunable in real time.

Augmented reality navigation overlays directional cues onto the real world by combining GPS positioning with inertial sensor data. This simulator visualizes a pedestrian walking a waypoint loop through a small city block while three position estimates are tracked side by side: the ground truth, a raw GPS fix that only updates about once a second and scatters within its accuracy radius, and a sensor-fused estimate that dead-reckons with a drifting IMU between fixes and snaps back toward each new GPS reading. Toggle sensor fusion off to see why AR navigation needs it — without it, the "you are here" marker jumps and lags exactly like plain GPS does on a phone with no fusion.
