Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a universal tracking module (UTM) capable of tracking six degrees of freedom of objects. In artificial reality environments, six degrees of freedom tracking refers to the ability to track an object moving and rotating freely in three-dimensional space along three axes of movement and rotation. Six degrees of freedom tracking provides high precision in tracking movement and rotation in 3D space, enabling more accurate and realistic representations of objects and interactions in virtual and augmented reality environments, thereby allowing for more realistic and immersive experiences. In examples, the UTM includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes such that an image of the UTM can be utilized to determine the position and orientation of the UTM and the object to which the UTM is attached.
