An '''electromagnetic tracking system''' is a system that performs [[electromagnetic tracking]], which tracks an object in a space using [[electromagnet]]s. It can be used to track the position and orientation of a [[head-mounted display]]. It can also be used to track handheld control peripherals. Examples of electromagnetic tracking systems are the [[Polhemus Viper]] and the [[Razer Hydra]].
