[[Constellation]] is a [[positional tracking]] system developed by [[Oculus VR]] for the [[Oculus Rift]] [[Oculus Rift#Devices|devices]]. Similar to [[Lighthouse]], Constellation is able to track both the [[HMD]] and controllers. Unlike Lighthouse, Constellation utilizes [[optical sensor]]s. It features 360 degrees tracking and is suitable for both seated and standing [[VR]] experiences.
The first iteration of the system will be released with [[Oculus Rift CV1]] in Q1 2015. The [[Rift]] will utilize an [[external camera sensor]] that sits on top of a thin and malleable pole about a foot in length. The entire setup can be placed on a desk similar to a lamp. The sensor and its mount is black in color. It is small, sleek and looks like a small desk lamp.
