1. An optical tracking system, comprising;

  • a movable tracked object within an operating space, comprising one or more rigidly attached optical sensors; and

    one or more optical transmitters within said operating space, wherein each transmitter comprises two rotors that sweep two optical beams across a tracking volume on orthogonal axes during repeating sweep cycles, wherein each transmitter emits an omni-directional synchronization optical pulse detectable by said optical sensors at the beginning of each said sweep cycle, wherein each of said optical sensors computes an angular location within said tracking volume by calculating the elapsed time between detecting said synchronization pulse and detecting said optical beams, and wherein a virtual representation of said movable tracked object is displayed in a virtual reality environment with a location and orientation within the virtual reality environment that corresponds to the location and orientation of said movable tracked object in said operating space.
