Abstract

An example MR headset is provided. The example MR headset comprises (i) a set of imaging sensors and (ii) a set of floodlight-emitting diodes (flood LEDs), the sets of imaging sensors and flood LEDs disposed along a front-facing portion of the MR headset. The MR headset includes one or more processors configured to, while the MR headset is being caused to present MR content, and in accordance with a determination that imaging data obtained from the set of imaging sensors has an insufficient level of detail to identify hand gestures, cause illumination, using one or more flood LEDs of the set of flood LEDs, of a volume of physical space that includes the hand of the user.
