Pose is the position and orientation of an object. In technical papers, it is also known as position and orientation (P&O, PnO).
It it derived in 3D tracking. It is used in magnetic tracking systems, such as systems from Polhemus.
PnO is substantially the same concept as "pose". It is the rotation and translation of an object relative to a root transform. In terms of a transform matrix with SRT order, it is just the rotation (R) and translation (T).
Position can be represented in a computer system using a 3D vector. Rotation can be represented using a quaternion.
