Abstract

Described herein are one or more implementations for an electromagnetic (EM) position and orientation tracking system operating at an ultra-low frequency, which reduces the strength of eddy currents produced by nearby field-distorting electrically-conductive materials ('distorters'). This effectively reduces the overall distorting effect of distorters.
