[[SteamVR Beacons]] - the dual Beacons, also known as Base Stations, are part of the [[Lighthouse]] tracking system of SteamVR. These small, rectangular objects are placed in the opposite corners of the room, near the ceiling. They serve as reference points that enable the [[positional tracking]] of your HMD and SteamVR controllers within the 3D space. Beacons are able to track your head and hands with accuracy, low latency and sub-millimeter precision within a specified space (currently about 15 by 15 feet).

Each sensor 2 circular chambers that spin at high speed emitting lasers. Initiated by laser diode, the invisible lasers sweep across the room. They are detected by sensor carrying devices such as the HMD or the controllers.
