1. A method comprising:
generating, by a first device, a positioning data based on an analysis of a data stream by identifying a position or a pose of a skeleton or a face of a user of a second device in a camera frame, wherein the data stream comprises images of the user of the second device;
receiving, by the first device, a biometric data of the second user from the second device, the biometric data being based on an output from a sensor or a camera included in the second device; and
determining, by the first device, a distance of the user from the first device using the positioning data and the biometric data of the user.
