	[[Beacons]], also known as '''Base Stations''', are devices that are part of the [[Lighthouse]] [[positional tracking]] system for the [[SteamVR]]. Developed by [[Valve]], the small rectangular boxes are placed in the tracking area and serve as reference points for any [[HMD]]s and [[SteamVR Controllers\|input devices]] tracked by the Lighthouse. Beacons perform this function by constantly flooding the room with a non-visible light. The receptors on the tracked devices would intercept the light and figure out where they are in relation to the Base Stations.
