[[Tracking]] in Vive has no visible [[latency]]. The [[Tracking#Systems|tracking system]] employed by HTC Vive is called [[Lighthouse]]. While [[rotational tracking]] is achieved with [[IMUs]], [[positional tracking]] is accomplish with 2 IR base stations called [[Beacons]]. The Beacons would constantly flood the room with IR that are detected by sensors on the HMD and [[SteamVR Controllers]]. HMD and controllers would figure out where they are in relation to the Beacons ([[inside-out tracking]]). Vive's tracking is designed for both [[Seated VR|seated]], [[standing VR|standing]] and most importantly [[Room-scale VR]] experiences. | [[Tracking]] in Vive has no visible [[latency]].
