1. A system for monitoring positioning of a machine, the system comprising:

  • an inertial measuring unit (IMU) located at a first location on the machine and configured to generate positioning data associated with the first location on the machine;

    a electronic machine controller operatively associated with the machine and configured to;

    receive the positioning data associated with the first location on the machine;

    determine predicted positioning data for a second location on the machine based on the positioning data associated with the first location on the machine; and

    generate a virtual IMU at the second location based on the predicted positioning data for the second location, the virtual IMU generating virtual positioning data for the second location; and

    an electronic application controller operatively associated with the machine controller and configured to use the virtual positioning data as input data for one or more machine-associated applications.
