HaloCompass

Move to the dot.Then capture.

Halo Compass standardizes vehicle capture at the source so merchandising, appraisal, inspection, and operational systems start with trusted visual inputs.

The Failure Moment

A photo can pass the workflow.

And still fail the business.

The system got an image.

But not the right view.

Why Existing Capture Systems Break

Real lots create real capture problems.

Real lots create real capture problems.

Tight spaces.Operator workarounds.Angles drift.Views get missed.

When capture breaks, everything downstream gets weaker.

  1. Rear quarter close-range capture of a blue WRX showing constrained lot spacing.
  2. Mid-body close-range capture of a blue WRX aligned along the side profile.
  3. Front-door close-range capture of a blue WRX continuing the guided side sequence.
  4. Front quarter close-range capture of a blue WRX completing the guided sequence.

NEW CAPTURE STRUCTURE

Same lot constraint.Different capture architecture.

Halo guides a close-range capture sequence that works in real-world lot conditions — without app-store dependency, special hardware, or GPU requirements.

*Patent pending. Halo Capture System and related methods.

Close-range capture. Standardized at the source.

One guided sequence becomes a clean, repeatable vehicle view.

GUIDED CAPTURE SYSTEM

Guidance at the source.

Halo launches from a simple link and guides every capture step in real time using live positioning, alignment, distance, level, and quality feedback — helping operators produce consistent merchandising output directly from the lot.

No dedicated hardware. No app-store dependency.

  1. Live capture coaching

    • Move closer to the target.
    • Hold level.
    • Align with the magenta dot.
    • Capture ready.
  2. Anchored guidance target

    Halo guides operators toward precise capture positioning in real time.

  3. Live coverage mapping

    Every guided capture updates a structured vehicle coverage map during the session.

  4. Real-time readiness validation

    Distance, alignment, level, and quality are evaluated continuously during capture.

Complete exterior capture in under 90 seconds.

Halo removes the guesswork, guides every required view, and helps operators avoid costly recaptures before they leave their spot.

OUTPUT LAYERS

One capture.Three synchronized outputs.

Halo turns one guided session into presentation imagery, evidence imagery, and structured metadata for downstream operational workflows.
