'''Position and rotation tracking''' is the tracking of something's [[position and rotation]] in space, such as a headset or a controller.

'''Position and rotation tracking''' is the tracking of something's [[position and rotation]] in space, such as a headset or a controller.

It is also known as '''6DOF tracking''', for the 6 degrees of freedom (DOF): horizontal, vertical, depthwise, pitch, roll, and yaw. It is used in an [[absolute positioning system]]. It can be done using a number of different hardware technologies, such as [[electromagnetic tracking]] or [[camera-based tracking]]. Methods of camera-based tracking include methods using [[SLAM]] or [[VIO]].

It can be done using a number of different hardware technologies, such as [[electromagnetic tracking]] or [[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.

Methods of camera-based tracking include methods using [[SLAM]] or [[VIO]].

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