Displaying in-vehicle AR content in a globally referenced coordinate system requires exact knowledge of the car’s pose in the world at a high framerate. LPVR-POS achieves this using a combination of two specialized sensor fusion algorithms.

LPVR-POS is based on FusionHub* and integrates a vehicle’s odometer, GPS, and IMU data with global location information and more. A range of typical applications, such as automotive and robot localization.
*FusionHub is a software application that combines several sensor data inputs to create a higher-level information output.

LPVR-POS combines odometry, GPS, and IMU data from a vehicle to calculate high-accuracy and low-latency global localization information. While GPS or RTK-GPS measurements alone provide similar positioning accuracy, the output frequency of these systems is relatively low, making them unsuitable for applications where localization information at higher framerates is required, such as positioning objects in an augmented reality environment.

By additionally using odometry (wheel speeds, steering angle, etc.) information, the localization data from the GPS measurements is interpolated to achieve framerates limited only by IMU and odometry sampling speeds.

LPVIZ: The Only See-Through AR Headset Built for Moving Vehicles

LPVIZ is a see-through HMD (AR glasses) purpose-built for use inside moving platforms — driving vehicles, motion simulators, and aerospace applications. Unlike closed-display VR headsets, LPVIZ allows users to see the real world through transparent lenses at all times, with AR content overlaid naturally onto their actual field of view.

This distinction is critical in moving vehicle environments: if a closed HMD loses power, the display goes completely dark — a serious safety risk. With LPVIZ, even in the event of a power failure, the transparent lenses remain clear, maintaining natural vision at all times.

LPVIZ is the only AR headset in the LPVR product lineup fully compatible with both LPVR-DUO and LPVR-POS.

Why LPVIZ?

Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with large, costly touchscreens — heavy, space-consuming, and fixed in position. LPVIZ offers a flexible, lightweight alternative: virtual screens and 3D UI elements projected directly into the driver’s line of sight via an AR interface, with no physical display hardware required.

• The only see-through HMD specialized for in-vehicle AR applications
• State-of-the-art waveguide display technology
• Seamlessly integrated with LPVR-DUO and LPVR-POS
• Displays navigation guidance, virtual dashboards, acceleration data, and POI overlays
• Safe for moving vehicle use — transparent lenses are retained on power loss
