The 3 rotational movements are pitch, yaw, and roll. These movements are tracked by most [[HMD]]s' on-board sensors. As you tilt and turn your head, the HMD senses the movements and alters its display accordingly. | The 3 rotational movements are pitch, yaw, and roll.

Rotational Movements are tracked by [[IMU]]s or [[ | Rotational Movements are tracked by [[IMU]]s or [[inertial measurement unit]]s consist of [[accelerometer]], [[gyroscope]] and [[magnetometer]]. These IMUs measure the HMD's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces to infer rotational orientation and movement. The 3 IMUs are often marketed as having "9 DOF". The 9 DOF are calculated by adding up the 3 DOF detected by each IMU. In reality, accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer all measure the same 3 DOF: pitch, yaw, and roll. | ||
