Abstract

One disclosed example provides a head-mounted device configured to control a plurality of light sources of a handheld object and acquire image data comprising a sequence of environmental tracking exposures in which the plurality of light sources are controlled to have a lower integrated intensity and handheld object tracking exposures in which the plurality of light sources are controlled to have a higher integrated intensity. The instructions are further executable to detect, via an environmental tracking exposure, one or more features of the surrounding environment, determine a pose of the head-mounted device based upon the one or more features of the surrounding environment detected, detect via a handheld object tracking exposure the plurality of light sources of the handheld object, determine a pose of the handheld object relative to the head-mounted device based upon the plurality of light sources detected, and output the pose of the handheld object.
