Magnetic tracking uses a magnetic field and its rotation and strength in relation to a base station to very accurately measure movement and rotation. This technology has already been successfully implemented in devices such as Razor Hydra. This device allows players to experience PC games in a new way and interact with the game world in three dimensions. The biggest downside to magnetic tracking is the relative ease with which it can be disrupted by conductive materials near sensors. | Magnetic tracking uses a magnetic field and its rotation and strength in relation to a base station to very accurately measure movement and rotation.

[[Ultrasonic tracking]], also known as acoustic tracking, works with multiple speakers and receivers placed in the environment. Acoustic signals are sent in precisely timed bursts. This time is subsequently used to calculate changes in distance and orientation. This type of positional tracking is highly prone to interference due to ambient noise. | |||
