Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a computing system from at least one depth sensor positioned at at least one fixed position in an environment, at least one set of point cloud data representative of the environment; detecting, at the computing system using the at least one set of point cloud data, point cloud data corresponding to a cluster of one or more potential actors at a location in the environment; receiving, at the computing system, location information from a device; based on the location information from the device, determining that a current location of the device is proximate to the location of the cluster of one or more potential actors; receiving, at the computing system from the device, movement information indicative of movement of the device; based on the movement information, determining, at the computing system, a portion of the point cloud data indicative of movement that matches the movement of the device; identifying, using the determined portion of the point cloud data, a particular actor of the cluster of one or more potential actors that corresponds to the device, wherein the device is physically coupled to the particular actor; and providing an output signal indicating the portion of the point cloud data representative of the identified particular actor.
