Systems, devices, and methods for providing and supporting the operation of augmented reality applications on a transport vehicle, such as an airplane, train, bus, automobile, etc. The system includes an onboard management system which is configured to be installed on the vehicle. The onboard management system comprises a computer system having a processor memory, a storage device and management software. The management software includes an application programming interface (API) configured to interface with an augmented reality application on a computer system configured to execute the augmented reality application and display an augmented reality experience. The onboard management system is configured to obtain vehicle data and provide one or more of vehicle location, orientation, altitude, and environmental data to the computer system via the API in response to a call from the augmented reality application. The computer system may then utilize the data in the operation of the augmented reality application.
