USER TRACKING FEEDBACK
First Claim
1. In a computer-implemented system executing software which tracks user action for control of a displayed object, a method for providing feedback to a user on an ability of the system to track user action comprising:
- detecting the user in a capture area with a capture system;
tracking at least one body feature of the user based on data generated by the capture system;
responsive to user tracking criteria not being satisfied, determining a feedback response; and
outputting feedback to the user.

Abstract
Technology is presented for providing feedback to a user on an ability of an executing application to track user action for control of the executing application on a computer system. A capture system detects a user in a capture area. Factors in the capture area and the user'"'"'s actions can adversely affect the ability of the application to determine if a user movement is a gesture which is a control or instruction to the application. One example of such factors is a user being out of the field of view of the capture system. Some other factor examples include lighting conditions and obstructions in the capture area. Responsive to a user tracking criteria not being satisfied, feedback is output to the user. In some embodiments, the feedback is provided within the context of an executing application.

13. A system for providing feedback to a user on an ability of the system to track user action comprising:
-
an image capture system for capturing image data of a user; one or more processors communicatively coupled to the image capture system and accessible to a memory storing the image data and instructions; the one or more processors executing instructions comprising detecting at least one body part of a user in the image data, tracking movement of the at least one body part, responsive to user tracking criteria not being satisfied, determining feedback for display to a user, displaying the feedback; and a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors for displaying the feedback to the user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more computer readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon for causing a processor to execute a method for providing user tracking feedback, the method comprising:
-
providing training objects on a display for instructing a user on the location of borders of a field of view for an image capture system; tracking at least one body part of the user needed for control of an application based on data generated by the capture system; responsive to user tracking criteria not being satisfied, determining a feedback response to motivate the user to improve the tracking quality; and displaying the feedback response. - View Dependent Claims (20)
