Abstract
Examples disclosed herein describe visual-inertial tracking techniques for extended reality (XR) devices. According to some example methods, an XR device is located in, and movable relative to, a vehicle. The XR device generates device tracking data and accesses vehicle tracking data. The vehicle tracking data is generated by an external sensor configured to measure motion of the vehicle. Consolidated tracking data is generated based on the device tracking data and the vehicle tracking data. In some examples, a pose of the XR device is determined by using the consolidated tracking data.
