1. A system comprising:
a tracking system comprising a host station and a sensor station,
said sensor station including a first transmitter transmitting a first signal, and a second transmitter transmitting a second signal, wherein the first signal and the second signal are broadcast across a user-definable area;
a display displaying a virtual reality (VR) environment; and
a tracked object including a plurality of object sensors sensing the first signal and the second signal,
said tracked object determining an object location and an object orientation of the tracked object relative to the sensor station based on the first signal and the second signal,
said tracked object transmitting the object location and the object orientation to the host station,
said host station comprising a processor coupled in communication to the tracked object and the display, said processor programmed to:
determine an actual flight path of the tracked object during an object tracking event where the tracked object is moving relative to the sensor station, the actual flight path based on the object location and the object orientation of the tracked object;
generate a predicted flight path of the tracked object based on the object location and the object orientation of the tracked object; and
render an image of a virtual object on the display in the VR environment, wherein the image includes an image of a virtual object corresponding to the tracked object,
wherein the image of the virtual object is rendered in the VR environment such that the image of the virtual object moves along the actual flight path rendered in the VR environment on the display and the predicted flight path rendered in the VR environment on the display.
