−== Mechanically tracked ==
+Some 3D stylus systems track the pen mechanically. The pen is connected to a base. These systems have been used in medicine. An example of an application of a mechanically tracked system is the VBLaST virtual surgery simulator.<ref>VBLaST - virtual surgery simulator. HowTechTV.
