Head position and orientation are measured by a purpose-built video camera, mounted on top of the user's monitor, which observes infrared (IR) light reflected or emitted by markers on a rigid model worn by the user. TrackIR software is used to control the camera, as well as adjust tracking sensitivity. While the user still looks at the monitor, head movements can be scaled, allowing a virtual movement of 180 degrees to occur.
