Tracking Systems and Configuration

→Return to Overview

Tracking is the process of finding the pose (rotation and translation) of the camera towards the real world and is an essential requirement for Augmented Reality. Only when having a fast, robust and accurate tracking system 3D content can be overlayed/superimposed properly (perspectivly correct) into the real world and in real time.

This section contains details for all supported tracking systems and the according configuration/configuration tools.
