Time position tracking with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
involves double-integrating acceleration data from an accelerometer, combined with orientation data from a gyroscope and magnetometer (9-DOF), typically processed through algorithms like an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)
. Due to significant sensor noise and quadratic error growth, pure IMU tracking is only effective for 1–2 seconds, requiring fusion with GPS, encoders, or vision systems for long-term accuracy.
Key Aspects of IMU-Based Position Tracking
-
Methodology:
To get position, the IMU measures acceleration (
), which is integrated once for velocity ( ) and again for position ( ).

Having an IMU especially a good one
like in the rift is really a very great way of getting a low latency positional tracker.
