3D Position

Hi This is difficult to ask. im in need of some kind of beacon to return a 3d position of the robot in relation to a fixed point. infrared not ideal unless it can move around objects/through walls etc beyond this im not sure how else to explain. I once saw something to do with VR about it but can't remember where.
