'''Fastrak''' is a 3D magnetic tracking system from [[Polhemus]]. Its name refers to the capability of fast tracking.
+
+
FastTrak was used in most [[VPL]] systems. It was also used in the first generation [[Virtuality]] systems.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20160801042252/http://vrtifacts.com/setup-a-fastrack-fast/</ref>
+
+
It is a 6DOF tracking system, meaning it tracks position and rotation.<ref name="y135"/>
+
+
The sources and sensors for the fastrak are compatible with [[Polhemus Patriot]] SEUs.
+
+
The price was about $6000.<ref name="y135"/>
