  • 6DoF

    6DoF, or six degrees of freedom, is XR tracking that follows both the position and rotation of a headset or controller along three axes each.

  • Hand tracking

    Hand tracking lets an XR headset follow the position and finger joints of bare hands with cameras, so users can point, pinch and grab without controllers.

  • Inside-out tracking

    Inside-out tracking lets an XR headset find its own position and orientation with cameras and sensors built into it, without external base stations.
