Abstract
The disclosure provides methods and systems for modular virtual reality tracking of an object in a play area. An example system includes a first tracking module located at a first place and configured to capture a first image of a play area and obtain first coordinates of the object relative to the first place. The system may include at least one second tracking module located at a second place different from the first place and configured to capture a second image of the play area and obtain second coordinates of the object relative to the second place. The system may include a processing unit configured to receive the first coordinates from the first tracking unit and the second coordinates from the second tracking unit and continuously track the object while the object is within the boundaries of at least one of the first image and the second image.
