Camera Tracking vs Object Tracking

Camera Tracking

Controls the virtual camera.

Used for:

• AR graphics

• virtual studio

• XR environments

The entire rendered perspective changes with camera movement.

Object Tracking

Controls virtual objects inside the scene.

Used for:

• tracked presenters

• tracked props

• moving screens

The camera stays independent while objects move.

Using both together

Most productions combine them:
Camera tracking → perspective
Object tracking → interaction
