Changes

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]]. Electromagnetic tracking is faster and typically more precise, but has interference problems. Camera-based tracking is slower, more expensive to implement, but is more reliable in a variety of environments, and may not need an external tracking system.

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