SteamVR/Lighthouse tracking is pretty fast and accurate.
Absolutely, best tracking system out there... but also you need to bolt stuff on the wall. Inside-out tracking meanwhile... well you just open up your backpack, put the HMD on and voila. Different trade offs for different usages.
I just set them on shelves, but yeah, it requires a bit of setup and a delimited play area.
Yeah, I'd expect this to be similar latency and accuracy. Lighthouse can do full 6dof tracking at a room scale too, not just sitting head tracking for a seated position like it seems opentrack does
