A commonly reported issue is that the instruments are not being tracked correctly in the SimBone application (odd movements, or a few millimeters out of position). While there could be more than one cause for this issue, users must recall that the tracking system for the SimBone creates an electromagnetic field around the device. This is what allows the instruments/sensors to be tracked in real time.

Metal has an impact on simulation quality

Tracked instruments can be influenced by metallic objects that are close to the sensors or within the magnetic field. Do not put metal objects on the simulator

This may include wooden tables with varying degrees of metal parts. To avoid any unintentional loss of accuracy, we strongly suggest using the wooden stand.
