A system for providing visual feedback, the system comprising:

• a capture device for capturing a depth image of a physical space having data representative of a target's motion or position in the physical space;
• a processor for executing computer executable instructions for:
• identifying data representative of a target's motion or position in a physical space;
• comparing the identified data to a plurality of gesture filters, wherein each of said plurality of gesture filters comprises one or more parameters with associated thresholds and ranges;
• identifying a confidence rating output for each of the comparisons to the plurality of gesture filters, wherein each of the plurality of confidence rating outputs indicates a likelihood that the identified data corresponds to a respective gesture filter;
• predicting an intended gesture based on a comparison of the confidence rating outputs;
• determining that a variation between the captured data and the filter parameters for the intended gesture is below a threshold level;
• and
• providing feedback representing a proper method for performing the intended gesture, wherein the feedback is indicative of one or more variations between the identified data and the one or more filter parameters that define the proper method performing the intended gesture;
• a display device for rendering visual feedback representing the proper method for performing the intended gesture.

A method for determining whether to provide feedback, the method comprising:

• receiving image data for a scene, wherein the image data comprises depth data representative of a target's motion or position in a physical space;
• comparing the depth data representative of the target's motion or position in the physical space to a plurality of gesture filters wherein each of said plurality of gesture filters comprises one or more parameters with associated thresholds and ranges;
• identifying a confidence rating output for each of the comparisons to the plurality of gesture filters, wherein each of the plurality of confidence rating outputs indicates a likelihood that the depth data representative of the target's motion or position corresponds to a respective gesture filter;
• predicting an intended gesture based on a comparison of the confidence rating outputs;
• detecting a variation between the depth data representative of the target's motion or position to the parameters of the gesture filter associated with the intended gesture, wherein the variation is indicative of a failure in an execution of the intended gesture;
• and
• determining whether to provide feedback based on said detected variation.
