  • Patent number: 10334230
    Abstract: A system is described that allows for the tracking of an exercise occurring within a physical environment. In one or more implementations, the system includes a depth sensing device configured to obtain depth values associated with a plurality of pixels. The depth values indicating distances from one or more physical objects in a physical environment to the depth sensing device. The system also includes a computing device in communication with the depth sensing device. The computing device includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the one or more modules to cause the processor to: identify a point corresponding to at least one pixel representing a portion of at least one physical object within the physical environment based upon the pixel depth values; track the point through a plurality of image frames; and determine whether at least one repetition has occurred based upon the tracked point.
