Systems and methods for augmented reality body movement guidance and measurement

A system for providing guidance for positioning at least a part of a body of a user, comprising:

• a video display;
• one or more cameras configured to generate a depth video stream and a visual video stream;
• and
• a computing device comprising:
• a memory storing computer executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions to:
• control the one or more cameras to generate images of the depth video stream and the visual video stream, the depth video stream including a depth image of at least the part of the body and the visual video stream including a visual image of at least the part of the body;
• identify at least the part of the body within the images using a first trained learning machine;
• isolate the identified part of the body from the images;
• estimate a position of a plurality of joints of the body by applying a second trained learning machine to the isolated and identified part of the body within the images;
• generate a current pose estimate of the identified part of the body by connecting estimated positions of the plurality of joints;
• and
• overlay a visual representation of the current pose estimate over the visual video stream on the video display.
