Abstract

Active tracking enables higher precision in tracking the positions, orientations, and states of the virtualized objects. STEAMVR Lighthouse tracking base-stations can be used for tracking specific objects. However, current solutions are bulky and costly. The overall goal of this research work was to reduce the size and cost of active VR trackers to enable their attachment to ever smaller physical tools and objects to be tracked in the real world and displayed in a virtual reality environment.
