'''Electromagnetic tracking''' is a kind of [[3D tracking]] that generates magnetic fields and detects them from a sensor. It is a technology for [[6DOF tracking]]. It can be implemented in an [[electromagnetic tracking system]]. Examples of electromagnetic tracking are the [[Magic Leap 1 controller]] and the [[Razer Hydra]].

The [[Magic Leap 1]] uses magnetic tracking for its handheld controller, but in a poor form.
It can work with a headset if the headset is small enough.

Magnetic tracking preserves high frequency transients in movement, like a flick of a finger.

A metallic object has to be at least a foot or two away from the tracking area so it doesn't interfere. Metallic objects cause jitter and drift.
