  • Patent number: 12602863
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to hand-based light estimation for extended reality (XR). An image sensor of an XR device is used to obtain an image of a hand in a real-world environment. At least part of the image is processed to detect a pose of the hand. One of a plurality of machine learning models is selected based on the detected pose. At least part of the image is processed via the machine learning model to obtain estimated illumination parameter values associated with the hand. The estimated illumination parameter values are used to render virtual content to be presented by the XR device.
