AR Sensor Overlay Display Kit with ESP32 + Camera
ESP32-S3 Camera AR Sensor Overlay Kit: Build a Real-Time Data Dashboard
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
With this kit, you’ll build a head-up style display that superposes live environmental readings — temperature, humidity, pressure — directly onto a camera feed, creating a seamless augmented reality experience on a TFT screen. Perfect for prototyping IoT dashboards, industrial monitoring interfaces, and data visualization tools without the complexity of fully custom hardware integration. The ESP32-S3’s dual-core processor handles concurrent image capture and sensor polling, giving you a hands-on lesson in real-time embedded systems.
What You’ll Build
A portable AR overlay system that captures real-time video from the OV2640 camera, reads DHT22 and BMP280 sensors, and draws text overlays of temperature, humidity, and pressure on the TFT display. The system updates instantly, creating a professional-grade monitoring tool that demonstrates sensor fusion and graphic overlay techniques. You’ll end up with a self-contained device ready for field data visualization or a hackathon demo.
What You’ll Learn
- Real-time sensor data acquisition with I2C and one-wire protocols
- Camera image capture and framebuffer manipulation on ESP32-S3
- Overlaying dynamic text and graphics on live video using the TFT_eSPI library
- Integrating multi-threaded tasks in FreeRTOS for simultaneous sensor polling and display refresh

Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI build companion responds instantly via the QR code on the box, and you can hop on WhatsApp for human backup from the Compoden team.
Can I customize the overlay to display different sensor data or add graphics?
Yes, the codebase is open and structured. You can modify the overlay text, add graphical gauges, or integrate additional I2C sensors easily.
Is this kit suitable for a Smart India Hackathon project?
Absolutely. The kit is designed for rapid prototyping; you can have a functional AR display running in under 8 hours, giving you a strong demo for the hackathon.
What if the camera module has a manufacturing defect?
All components are covered by our 7-day replacement guarantee. Just reach out to support and we’ll ship a replacement immediately.
