'''Position and rotation tracking''' is the tracking of an object's [[position and rotation]] 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]].

6DOF tracking is often called [[positional tracking]]. It is used in an [[absolute positioning system]]. One way is to do [[magnetic tracking]]. It can be done using a number of different hardware technologies, such as [[electromagnetic tracking]] and [[camera-based 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.

Position can be represented in a computer system using a 3D vector. Rotation can be represented using a [[quaternion]].
