1. An electronic device comprising:
an ultra-wide band (UWB) communication module including a plurality of antennas; and
a processor operatively connected to the UWB communication module,
wherein the processor is configured to:
measure a first coordinate of a head-mounted display (HMD) device in a first coordinate system generated where a location of the electronic device is an origin point of the first coordinate system based on UWB signals received from the HMD device using at least part of the plurality of antennas,
measure a second coordinate of a handheld controller device in the first coordinate system using the location of the electronic device as the origin point based on UWB signals received from the handheld controller device using at least part of the plurality of antennas, and
generate a second coordinate system by reconfiguring the first coordinate system including changing the first coordinate of the HMD device to an origin point of the second coordinate system, and
calculate a coordinate of the handheld controller device in the second coordinate system using the first coordinate of the HMD device and the second coordinate of the handheld controller device.
