The 3 rotational movements are pitch, yaw, and roll. These movements are tracked by most [[HMD]]s' on-board sensors. As your head rotates forward, backward and side to side, the HMD senses the movements and alters its display accordingly.

Rotational Movements are often tracked by [[IMU]]s or [[Inertial Measurement Unit]]s.
Rotational Movements are tracked by [[IMU]]s or [[Inertial Measurement Unit]]s consist of [[accelerometer]], [[gyroscope]] and [[magnetometer]]. These IMUs measure the HMD's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces to infer rotational orientation and movement.
