Electronic device for supporting augmented reality function and operating method thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• memory storing instructions;
• at least one sensor module configured to detect a hand of a user;
• and
• at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
• execute a first application configured to provide an augmented reality (AR) image to the user;
• select a first artificial intelligence (AI) model, based on execution of the first application;
• obtain first data related to the hand of the user from the at least one sensor module;
• identify a position of the hand of the user and a shape of joints in the hand by using the first AI model to calculate the first data;
• based on the position of the hand of the user and the joints in the hand, identified using the first AI model, determine whether there is an interaction between the hand of the user and at least one object included in the AR image;
• select a second AI model, based on determination that there is an interaction between the hand of the user and at least one object included in the AR image;
• obtain second data related to the hand of the user from the at least one sensor module;
• and
• identify a position of the hand of the user and a shape of the joints in the hand by using the second AI model to calculate the second data, and
• wherein the first AI model is configured to process a first calculation amount for a first time period, and the second AI model is configured to process a second calculation amount greater than the first calculation amount for the first time period.
