1. A system for displaying a virtual element, comprising:
a transmitter configured to couple with a movable object associated with a current object location in a physical environment and to broadcast a pulse, wherein the pulse comprises a unique identifier and a predefined object mesh associated with the movable object, and wherein the current object location is based on the pulse;
an eyewear device comprising a localization application, a rendering application, and a display, wherein a current eyewear location is estimated by the localization application; and
a virtual element presented by the rendering application on the display at a virtual element location as an overlay relative to the predefined object mesh, wherein the virtual element location is based on the current object location and the current eyewear location.
