Anonymized Human Body Tracking

A method for use by an interactive system including a computing platform communicatively coupled to a sensor and a display, the computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code and a database comprising images corresponding respectively to human physical features, the method comprising:

• detecting, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using sensor data received from the sensor, a presence of a user;
• identifying, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using the database and the sensor data, respective locations of a plurality of physical features of the user;
• averaging, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, the respective locations of the plurality of physical features to determine a position data for at least one anonymized body segment of the user;
• tracking, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using the sensor data, changes in the position data for the at least one anonymized body segment of the user;
• determining, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, based on tracking, at least one of a location of the user in relation to the sensor, a posture of the user, or a gesture by the user;
• and
• generating, by the software code executed by the hardware processor and using the display, an interactive effect responsive to the at least one of the location of the user, the posture of the user, or the gesture by the user.
