===Motion Tracking===
A HMD [[tracking|tracks]] the movement of the user;s head and updates the rendered scene based on its position and orientation. This process is similar to how we look around in real life. There are 2 types of tracking: [[rotational|rotational tracking]] and [[positional tracking|positional]].

[[Rotational tracking]] tracks the 3 rotational movements: pitch, yaw, and roll. It is performed by [[IMUs]] such as [[accelerometer]]s, [[gyroscope]]s and [[magnetometer]]s.
