Positional tracking tracks the absolute position of the [[HMD]], hands and other devices and body parts within the 3 dimensional space. Positional tracking records the [[translational movement]]s, left/right, forward/backward and up/down, of your device. Precise and low [[latency]] positional tracking is essential to have a good [[VR]] experience and produce [[presence]]. | Positional tracking tracks the absolute position of the [[HMD]], hands and other devices and body parts within the 3 dimensional space.
