In a controlled environment, magnetic tracking’s accuracy is good. However, it can be influenced by interference from conductive materials near the emitter of sensors, from other magnetic fields generated by other devices and from ferromagnetic materials in the tracking area.

The [[Razor Hydra]] motion controllers is an example of implementation of this specific type of positional tracking in a product.
