• A video-augmented VR framework coupling a physical ROS 2 autonomous vehicle to an immersive passenger view that combines synchronized motion, live onboard video, and navigation decisions.

• A dual-channel UDP architecture transmitting vehicle state and video independently to maintain real-time physical–virtual consistency.

• An experimental characterization over 20 closed-loop trials quantifying synchronization accuracy, latency, frame delivery, and decision-display fidelity.
