A system comprising one or more processors configured to: track a location of a stylus device within a physical environment via a three-dimensional tracking system, wherein the stylus device is coupled to a virtual reality display system and wherein the tracking of the location of the stylus device is used for interacting with the virtual reality display system; and modify a tracking parameter of the 3D tracking system while tracking the location of the stylus device based on the tracked location of the stylus device within the physical environment, wherein modifying the tracking parameter of the stylus device further includes: tracking the location of the stylus device according to a first tracking accuracy profile in response to determining that a user of the stylus device is operating said stylus device "in-air" in 3D space; tracking the location of the stylus device according to a second tracking accuracy profile in response to determining that the user of the stylus device is operating said stylus device along a two-dimensional surface; and tracking the location of the stylus device according to a third accuracy tracking profile in response to determining that the user of the stylus device is operating the stylus device "in-air" in 3D space and bracing their arm against a surface. track a location of a stylus device within a physical environment via a three-dimensional tracking system, wherein the stylus device is coupled to a virtual reality display system and wherein the tracking of the location of the stylus device is used for interacting with the virtual reality display system; and modify a tracking parameter of the 3D tracking system while tracking the location of the stylus device based on the tracked location of the stylus device within the physical environment, wherein modifying the tracking parameter of the stylus device further includes: tracking the location of the stylus device according to a first tracking accuracy profile in response to determining that a user of the stylus device is operating said stylus device "in-air" in 3D space; tracking the location of the stylus device according to a second tracking accuracy profile in response to determining that the user of the stylus device is operating said stylus device along a two-dimensional surface; and tracking the location of the stylus device according to a third accuracy tracking profile in response to determining that the user of the stylus device is operating the stylus device "in-air" in 3D space and bracing their arm against a surface. tracking the location of the stylus device according to a first tracking accuracy profile in response to determining that a user of the stylus device is operating said stylus device "in-air" in 3D space; tracking the location of the stylus device according to a second tracking accuracy profile in response to determining that the user of the stylus device is operating said stylus device along a two-dimensional surface; and tracking the location of the stylus device according to a third accuracy tracking profile in response to determining that the user of the stylus device is operating the stylus device "in-air" in 3D space and bracing their arm against a surface.
