Tracking

What is Tracking?

Tracking encompasses the technologies and methods used to monitor device positions and orientations in real-time, enabling virtual environments to respond accurately to user movements for convincing immersion and reduced simulation sickness.

How does Tracking work?

The precision of tracking systems directly impacts user comfort and the believability of virtual experiences. By constantly monitoring the position of devices like headsets and controllers, applications can render environments that respond naturally to user perspective and actions. Various tracking approaches exist, including optical, electromagnetic, and inertial methods, each with specific advantages for different use cases.

How is Tracking used?

High-quality tracking serves as a crucial foundation for applications across multiple sectors - from architectural visualization to healthcare simulations - by creating responsive digital twins of physical movements.

Moreover, precise tracking functions as an effective countermeasure against simulation sickness by maintaining synchronization between visual feedback and vestibular sensations.
