TRACKING SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS:
The magnetic tracking system is composed of the
following:
• Control Unit (Inside VR Machine)
o Contains the hardware and software neces-
sary to compute position and orientation.
• Source (part of the Swing Arm)
o The source contains electromagnetic coils
enclosed in a plastic shell that emit a magnetic
field. The source is the system’s reference
frame for sensor measurements.
• Sensor (in the VR GMAW/FCAW gun, VR SMAW
device, and helmet)
o The sensor contains electromagnetic coils
enclosed in a plastic shell that detect the mag-
netic fields emitted by the source. The sen-
sor’s position and orientation are precisely
measured as it moves in reference to the
source. The sensor is completely passive,
having no active voltage applied to it.
