An '''electromagnetic tracking system''' is a system that performs [[electromagnetic tracking]], which tracks an object in a space using [[electromagnet]]s. It can be used to track the position and orientation of a [[head-mounted display]] and handheld control peripherals. Examples of electromagnetic tracking systems are the [[Polhemus Viper]] and the [[Razer Hydra]].

There is a base station and a receiver. The base station generates the magnetic field, and the receiver senses it. Commercial magnetic tracking systems usually cost thousands of dollars.
