A system to diminish the effects of distortion of a configurable theater system, comprising: a configurable theater system having a plurality of members (140, 142) including at least a first member, a second member, and at least one head holding member, the first member formed of a first material and movably interconnected relative to the second member formed of a second material and the at least one head holding member extending from the first member, the at least one head holding member is configured to engage a head; wherein the first member and the second member are configured to be selectively moved relative to one another to generate a plurality of configurations of the configurable theater system; a localizer (52, 110a, 110b) fixedly connected to at least one of the first member or the second member of the configurable theater system at a single selected location, wherein the localizer is configured to generate an undistorted electromagnetic field; wherein the localizer is configured to generate the undistorted electromagnetic field that is distorted by at least one of the first member or the second member of the configurable theater system; a memory system having stored thereon at least one distorted field parameter for each configuration of the plurality of configurations to define the distorted field that is distorted by at least one of the first member or the second member of the configurable theater system; and a processor system configured to recall from the memory system at least one distorted field parameter based on a current configuration of the plurality of configurations of the configurable theater system that forms the distorted field that distorts the undistorted electromagnetic field. a configurable theater system having a plurality of members (140, 142) including at least a first member, a second member, and at least one head holding member, the first member formed of a first material and movably interconnected relative to the second member formed of a second material and the at least one head holding member extending from the first member, the at least one head holding member is configured to engage a head; wherein the first member and the second member are configured to be selectively moved relative to one another to generate a plurality of configurations of the configurable theater system; a localizer (52, 110a, 110b) fixedly connected to at least one of the first member or the second member of the configurable theater system at a single selected location, wherein the localizer is configured to generate an undistorted electromagnetic field; wherein the localizer is configured to generate the undistorted electromagnetic field that is distorted by at least one of the first member or the second member of the configurable theater system; a memory system having stored thereon at least one distorted field parameter for each configuration of the plurality of configurations to define the distorted field that is distorted by at least one of the first member or the second member of the configurable theater system; and a processor system configured to recall from the memory system at least one distorted field parameter based on a current configuration of the plurality of configurations of the configurable theater system that forms the distorted field that distorts the undistorted electromagnetic field.
