Abstract

In some implementations, a method includes: obtaining uncorrected hand tracking data; obtaining a depth map associated with a physical environment; identifying a position of a portion of the finger within the physical environment based on the depth map and the uncorrected hand tracking data; performing spatial depth smoothing on a region of the depth map adjacent to the position of the portion of the finger; and generating corrected hand tracking data by performing point of view (POV) correction on the uncorrected hand tracking data based on the spatially depth smoothed region of the depth map adjacent to the portion of the finger.
