Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a holographic calling system providing holographic calling between an artificial reality device and a mobile device having both front and back facing cameras. The user of the mobile device can position it so one of the cameras is pointed toward their face and another camera captures the user's hand not holing the mobile device. The holographic calling system can automatically determine the position of the mobile device in relation to the user's face and hand. Once the mobile device is positioned within an appropriate capture zone, the captured images of the user's face are used to create a first representation of the sending user's face, the captured images of the user's hand are used to create a second representation of the sending user's hand. Each representation is provided as output from a receiving artificial reality device, positioned relative to each other.
