Accuracy of pose information

Hey guys,

I know Vuforia returns a poes matrix once the marker is found. How accurate is this pose? For instance, if a marker is moved between two locations, could I theoretically calculate the distance moved? Using matrix math, pose matrix at B - pose matrix at A to get translation and rotation? 

Is there any sample out there? 

Cheers!

A better example might be the use of World Center mode in Unity, where the camera is set as the center.  This way you could have two simultaneous targets, each returning their own pose matrix, which ought to be sufficient to enable you to work out the distance between them.

The main question for me is whether the pose information is accurate enough for tracking?

You will need to try this out for yourself, but in general Vuforia is highly regarded for its tracking accuracy.
