  • Patent number: 11861944
    Abstract: Video output is generated based on first video data that depicts the user performing an activity. Poses of the user during performance of the activity are compared with second video data that depicts an instructor performing the activity. Corresponding poses of the user's body and the instructor's body may be determined through comparison of the first and second video data. The video data is used to determine the rate of motion of the user and to generate video output in which a visual representation of the instructor moves at a rate similar to the that of the user. For example, video output generated based on an instructional fitness video may be synchronized so that movement of the presented instructor matches the rate of movement of the user performing an exercise, improving user comprehension and performance.
