Abstract
Examples in the present disclosure relate to scale estimation for facilitating extended reality (XR) experiences. An image of a hand of a user is captured via one or more optical sensors of an XR device. The image is processed to detect a hand pose relative to the XR device. A hand scale estimate corresponding to the detected hand pose is accessed. The hand scale estimate is one of a plurality of hand scale estimates each uniquely associated with a respective hand pose. The hand scale estimate is applied to generate positional data for one or more features of the hand of the user. The XR device tracks the hand of the user based on the positional data while the user uses the XR device.
