  1.  Varjo inside-out tracking uses the built-in cameras on your headset to scan the room and keep track of your position.
  2.  SteamVR™ Tracking uses up to four SteamVR™ base stations to track your headset and optional controllers.
  3.  Third-party tracking methods can also be integrated with Varjo headsets.
