The invention relates to a positioning and movement identification system, which belongs to the technical field of the positioning device structure. The positioning and movement identification system consists of a moving group and a fixed group, wherein the moving group comprises a head, a cursor device, a distance measuring device, an electronic gyro attitude indicator and a data processing module b; and the fixed group comprises an image acquisition device and a data processing module a used for processing a shot image in real time, wherein the image acquisition device and the data processing module a are installed in a space formed by a protective shell and an outer cover, and the protective shell is fixedly installed on a base. The system can accurately obtain the movement position of a user, the rotation angle of the head, the height of the user and the leftward and rightward inclination, head rising and head lowering angles of the head of the user in a real space in real time, and causes the movement position of the user, the rotation angle of the head, the height of the user and the leftward and rightward inclination, head rising and head lowering angles of the head of the user in the real space to correspond to the movement, the height and the head movement of the user in virtual reality, the movement of the user in the real space keeps consistent with the movement in the virtual reality, spinning sensation is eliminated, and the real-time positioning and the head movement identification of multiple users can be realized. In addition, the positioning and movement identification system is simple in structure, low in manufacture cost and convenient in use.
