Abstract
A method includes providing a split input device that includes a left portion for use by a user's left hand, and a right portion for use by the user's right hand. The method includes capturing images of the split input device while the split input device is being used by the user in a split configuration in which the left portion is physically separated from the right portion, and generating a three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the split input device based on the captured images, wherein the split input device appears in the 3D visualization as a single input device in a combined configuration.
