1 Definition
A Data Type representing an Object’s position, velocity, and acceleration.
2 Functional Requirements
- The Position of an Object is that of a representative point in the Object.
- Cartesian and Polar Coordinate Systems are supported.
- The following media used types are supported: Audio; Visual; Audio-Visual; Haptic; Smell; RADAR; LiDAR; Ultrasound.
- Error is the estimated absolute value of the measured spatial and angular values of each of CartPosition, SpherPosition, CartVelocity, SpherVelocity, CartAccel, SpherAccel.

4 Semantics
Table 1 provides the semantics of Position. It should be noted that each of Position, Velocity, and Acceleration can be expressed either in Cartesian (X,Y,Z) or Spherical (r,φ,θ) Coordinates.
