A method operable on an extended reality device, the method comprising: determining a pose of the extended reality device within a mapped scene of a physical environment associated with the extended reality device; characterized by : detecting a private region in the mapped scene and a location of the private region relative to the pose of the extended reality device, wherein the private region comprises a hand of a user, the private region comprising an area estimated to be within a field of view, FOV, of a user of the extended reality device and out of a respective FOV of at least one of a person in the physical environment, a recording device in the physical environment, and an object in the physical environment that enables viewing access from outside of the physical environment wherein detecting the location of the private region further comprises tracking the position of the hand based on one or more landmark points ; based on the pose of the extended reality device and the private region being detected and the position of the tracked hand, mapping a virtual private control interface to the private region; and rendering the virtual private control interface within the private region in the mapped scene by rendering the virtual private control interface onto the tracked position of the hand. determining a pose of the extended reality device within a mapped scene of a physical environment associated with the extended reality device; characterized by : detecting a private region in the mapped scene and a location of the private region relative to the pose of the extended reality device, wherein the private region comprises a hand of a user, the private region comprising an area estimated to be within a field of view, FOV, of a user of the extended reality device and out of a respective FOV of at least one of a person in the physical environment, a recording device in the physical environment, and an object in the physical environment that enables viewing access from outside of the physical environment wherein detecting the location of the private region further comprises tracking the position of the hand based on one or more landmark points ; based on the pose of the extended reality device and the private region being detected and the position of the tracked hand, mapping a virtual private control interface to the private region; and rendering the virtual private control interface within the private region in the mapped scene by rendering the virtual private control interface onto the tracked position of the hand. detecting a private region in the mapped scene and a location of the private region relative to the pose of the extended reality device, wherein the private region comprises a hand of a user, the private region comprising an area estimated to be within a field of view, FOV, of a user of the extended reality device and out of a respective FOV of at least one of a person in the physical environment, a recording device in the physical environment, and an object in the physical environment that enables viewing access from outside of the physical environment wherein detecting the location of the private region further comprises tracking the position of the hand based on one or more landmark points ; based on the pose of the extended reality device and the private region being detected and the position of the tracked hand, mapping a virtual private control interface to the private region; and rendering the virtual private control interface within the private region in the mapped scene by rendering the virtual private control interface onto the tracked position of the hand. <EOS>
