	Magnetic tracking uses a magnetic field and its rotation and strength in relation to a base station to very accurately measure movement and rotation. This technology has already been successfully implemented in devices such as Razor Hydra. This device allows players to experience PC games in a new way and interact with the game world in three dimensions. The biggest downside to magnetic tracking is the relative ease with which it can be disrupted by conductive materials near sensors.

	~~Acoustic~~ tracking works with multiple speakers and receivers placed in the environment. Acoustic signals are sent in precisely timed bursts. This time is subsequently used to calculate changes in distance and orientation. This type of positional tracking is highly prone to interference due to ambient noise.

	[[Tracking volume]] is a term used to describe the size of the area within which the tracking camera is still able to capture user’s physical movements. Usually, the tracking volume is determined by camera’s horizontal and vertical [[field of view]].

	There are many different [[positional tracking]] technologies used to determine the exact position of the user inside the tracking volume and change the viewpoint accordingly. Such tracking helps to blur the line between virtual experiences and the real world.
