Sensor-Only Tracking vs Marker-Based Tracking
Developers should learn Sensor-Only Tracking for applications requiring robust, low-latency pose estimation in environments where external signals are unavailable or unreliable, such as indoor navigation, drone control, or AR/VR headsets meets developers should learn marker-based tracking when building applications that require precise spatial tracking, such as ar experiences where virtual objects need to be anchored to real-world markers, or in robotics for navigation and object manipulation. Here's our take.
Sensor-Only Tracking

- +Related to: inertial-measurement-units, sensor-fusion
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Marker-Based Tracking
Developers should learn marker-based tracking when building applications that require precise spatial tracking, such as AR experiences where virtual objects need to be anchored to real-world markers, or in robotics for navigation and object manipulation
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in controlled environments where markers can be easily placed and detected, offering high accuracy and reliability compared to markerless tracking methods
- +Related to: computer-vision, augmented-reality
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Sensor-Only Tracking if: You want it is essential in scenarios where privacy, independence from infrastructure, or operation in gps-denied areas (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Marker-Based Tracking if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in controlled environments where markers can be easily placed and detected, offering high accuracy and reliability compared to markerless tracking methods over what Sensor-Only Tracking offers.
