  • Abstract
    Tracking position and orientation accurately and precisely is important in effective virtual reality systems. Large volume trackers are necessary to build effective augmented reality systems. A new approach to large-volume six-degree-of-freedom tracking is presented. The approach uses ultrasonic measurement technology and cellular deployment to achieve a relatively low-cost large-volume tracker
