Positional tracking is a technology that allows a device to estimate its position relative to the environment around it. It uses a combination of hardware and software to achieve the detection of its absolute position. Positional tracking is an essential technology for [[virtual reality]] (VR), making it possible to track movement with six [[degrees of freedom]] (6DOF) <ref name=”1”> StereoLabs.
