1. A method comprising:
obtaining, from image sensor data, hand tracking data for a first hand in accordance with an indication of a peripheral event at a peripheral device;
detecting an input gesture for the first hand based on characteristics of the hand tracking data, wherein the input gesture corresponds to an input action;
determining that characteristics of the hand tracking data for the first hand satisfy a peripheral use criterion based on a palm position of the first hand and a physical characteristic of a scene in which the first hand is located indicating that the hand is positioned proximate to a peripheral device; and
rejecting the input gesture by a user input pipeline in accordance with the determination that the peripheral use criterion is satisfied.
