Claim 18:
19. A positioning system for properly positioning at least one tracker on a body of a subject, the positioning system comprising:
at least one tracker adapted to be arranged on the body of the subject, the at least one trackers comprising: a light emitter, at least one antenna configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal, and at least one inertial sensor;
an optical sensing device; and
a computing device comprising at least one antenna configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal, the computing device being configured to:
(a) determine a target configuration of a position of the at least one tracker on the subject;
(b) activate a light emitter of the at least one tracker and image the subject using the optical sensing device to acquire at least one image of the subject comprising an image of the at least one tracker;
(c) automatically process the at least one image to determine a difference between an actual position of the at least one tracker and the determined target configuration of the position of the at least one tracker; and
(d) provide an indication of the determined difference to a user of the positioning system.
