MULTI-MODAL HAND LOCATION AND ORIENTATION FOR AVATAR MOVEMENT

Examples of systems and methods for improved hand tracking of a user in a mixed reality environment are disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured to estimate the hand pose and shape of a user's hands for applications such as animating a hand on a user's avatar. Data from multiple sources, such as a totem internal measurement unit (“IMU”), external totem location tracking, vision cameras, and depth sensors, may be manipulated using a set of rules that are based on historical data, ergonomics data, and motion data.
