Tracking can either be 3DOF (rotation only) or 6DOF (position and rotation). Early VR tracking technology in the 1990s used magnetic tracking systems that used either AC magnetics or DC magnetics depending on the provider.

The [[Magic Leap 1]] uses 6DOF magnetic tracking for its controller, but it is poor quality.
