Methods and systems for object tracking are disclosed in which the bandwidth of a 'slow' tracking system (e.g., an optical tracking system) is augmented with sensor data generated by a 'fast' tracking system (e.g., an inertial tracking system). The tracking data generated by the respective systems can be used to estimate and/or predict a position, velocity, and orientation of a tracked object that can be updated at the sample rate of the &#x201c;fast&#x201d; tracking system. The methods and systems disclosed herein generally involve an estimation algorithm that operates on raw sensor data (e.g., two-dimensional pixel coordinates in a captured image) as opposed to first processing and/or calculating object position and orientation using a triangulation or &#x201c;back projection&#x201d; algorithm.
