Abstract: In various implementations, a device includes an environmental sensor, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the environmental sensor and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes, while the device is in a physical environment that includes a fixed spatial point and a person, obtaining, via the environmental sensor, spatial data corresponding to a-physical environment and the person. The method includes determining, based on the spatial data, a position of a first body portion of the person relative to the fixed spatial point. Determining the position of the first body portion is based on a distance between the device and the fixed spatial point and based on a distance between the device and the first body portion. The method includes generating, based on the position of the first body portion, pose information for the first body portion relative to the fixed spatial point.
