Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for calculating angular acceleration based on inertial data using two or more inertial measurement units (IMUs). The calculated angular acceleration may be used to estimate a position of a wearable head device comprising the IMUs. Virtual content may be presented based on the position of the wearable head device. In some embodiments, a first IMU and a second IMU share a coincident measurement axis.
