    Abstract: A system and method employing position measurement sensors and point sources of light to determine the location and orientation of video cameras in a simulation arena environment. In an embodiment, one or more accelerometers, gyroscopes, and/or magnetometers associated with each video camera may be used to determine the angular orientation of the video camera. The location of a camera is determined by measuring the distance from the camera to at least two known points, where the known points may be point sources of light, other cameras, or a combination thereof. Camera angular orientation information and camera location information may be combined to provide a complete set of data defining the position of each video camera.
