Position and orientation (P&O, also known as PnO) is a quantity that holds position and orientation.

It it used in PnO tracking. It is used in magnetic tracking systems, such as systems from Polhemus.

PnO is substantially the same concept as "pose". It is the rotation and translation of an object relative to a root transform. In terms of a transform matrix with SRT order, it is just the rotation (R) and translation (T).
