Abstract
Examples in the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for detecting and rejecting a non-user hand in the context of egocentric hand tracking performed by an extended reality (XR) device. While the XR device is worn by a user, the XR device captures at least one image of a hand and processes the at least one image to detect the hand. After detecting the hand, the XR device determines positioning of the hand relative to the XR device or another object in a field of view of the XR device. The XR device detects that the hand is a non-user hand. In response to detecting that the hand is a non-user hand, the XR device excludes the non-user hand from the egocentric hand tracking such that the non-user hand is not tracked for the user.
