'''3D tracking''' is the tracking of the position and orientation of an object in three-dimensional space. It is more useful to talk about [[3DOF]] tracking or [[6DOF tracking]].

It is also known as six degree of freedom tracking, for the six total degrees of freedom: three of rotation and three position.

In general, tracking is either [[3DOF]] tracking or [[6DOF tracking]].
3D tracking can be done in three major categories: [[electromagnetic tracking]], inertial, and optical.
