Mark True or False regarding tracking systems. 1. Inertial Measurement Units merge accelerometers and gyroscopes, often alongside a magnetometer. [1] 2. For tracking in VR, we typically care about linear acceleration or angular velocity, not position and orientation. [2] 3. Integration converts measurements of velocity or acceleration in positions and orientations. [3] 4. Drift is typically corrected by additional sensors. [4] 5. Mechanical Linkage Systems use sensors at joints to detect angles, and compute a position. [5]

Regarding Head Tracked Displays, please mark True or False for the items below: 1. Head Tracked Displays (HTDs) track the location of the user’s head and update the image shown based on the user’s perspective. [1]  2. Fishtank VR is not considered a type of Head Tracked Display. [2]  3. One of the pros of HTDs is that they obscure the real world. [3]  4. A con of HTDs is that they have a larger physical footprint compared to other VR systems. [4]  5. Most HTDs are not stereoscopic. [5]
