1. An apparatus comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
determine a first position of a wearable device in a physical space;
receive, from the wearable device, position information associated with the wearable device;
determine a second position of the wearable device based on the received position information;
track, based on the first position and the second position, a movement of the wearable device relative to the apparatus;
determine, based on at least one of the second position of the wearable device or the movement of the wearable device, that the wearable device is outside of a field-of-view (FOV) of one or more image sensors on the apparatus and the movement of the wearable device is towards an area within the FOV of the one or more image sensors; and
initiate, based on a determination that the wearable device is outside of the FOV of the one or more image sensors and the movement of the wearable device is towards the area within the FOV of the one or more image sensors, one or more imaging operations and one or more tracking operations at the apparatus, the one or more tracking operations being at least partly based on image data from the one or more imaging operations.
