 TRACKING

The Manus VR Glove calculates the relative position of the hand. To get positional tracking of the Manus VR Gloves, it relies on the
tracking solution of other systems, such as Xsens and Vive Tracking. Any tracking solution that gives the location of the wrist can be
used to provide positional tracking. The Manus VR Glove is tested with OptiTrack, Vicon, Xsens, PhaseSpace and Vive Tracking.
