'''3D tracking''' is the tracking of an object's [[position]] or [[orientation]] in a three-dimensional space. In general, tracking is either [[3DOF]] tracking or [[6DOF tracking]].
+
'''Position and orientation tracking''' is the tracking of an object's [[position and orientation]] in space. '''6DOF tracking''' is the tracking of the [[position and orientation]] of something in space. It is named 6DOF because it refers to the 6 degrees of freedom, three for position and three for rotation.
+

6DOF tracking is often called [[positional tracking]]. It is used in an [[absolute positioning system]]. One way is to do [[magnetic tracking]].

Native simple 6DOF tracking solutions are necessary for robust 3D communication systems. This includes doing low level computer programming using a 3D tracking system. A 3D tracking system without computation dependencies is preferred.
It can be done using a number of different hardware technologies, such as [[electromagnetic tracking]] and [[camera-based tracking]].

PnO tracking is related to rotation tracking, which uses [[3DOF]] of space.
