Experimental setup Base unit Calibration of Virtual Environments Overview In this project the performance characteristics of two motion tracking modalities for use in a virtual environment were investigated. Ascension Technology’s Flock of Birds is an electromagnetic tracking system. InterSense’s IS-600 uses a combination of ultrasonic, infrared, and inertial principles. Case studies were performed for both tracking systems to study static distortion, temporal stability, and the effect of metal. The requirements of the virtual reality application would ultimately guide the choice of the tracker modality. InertiaCube Bird SoniDisc Figure 2. Tracking hardware
