Avatar virtual arm movement
A method for avatar virtual arm movement, the method may include (i) capturing, by a camera of a participant of a video conference, a hand gesture made by the participant without capturing an arm movement of the participant, the arm movement is associated with the hand gesture; (ii) determining the arm movement of the participant, based on the hand gesture; (iii) determining a virtual movement of an arm of an avatar of the participant within a virtual video conference environment, the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar of the participant mimics the arm movement of the participant; and (iv) assisting to perform the virtual arm movement of the avatar within the virtual video conference environment.
1. A method for avatar virtual arm movement, the method comprises:
capturing, by a camera of a participant of a video conference, a hand gesture made by the participant without capturing an arm movement of the participant, the arm movement is associated with the hand gesture;
determining the arm movement of the participant, based on the hand gesture;
determining one or more arm movement restrictions that comprise an arm movement restriction imposed by a clothing of the participant; wherein the arm movement restriction is selected out of (a) a weight of the clothing, (b) an elasticity of the clothing, or (c) a gap between the arm and at least one part of clothing that at least partially surrounds the arm;
determining, based on the one or more arm movement restrictions, a virtual movement of an arm of an avatar of the participant within a virtual video conference environment, the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar of the participant mimics the arm movement of the participant; and
assisting to perform the virtual arm movement of the avatar within the virtual video conference environment.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the determining of the arm movement of the participant is executed by a machine learning process.
3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the determining of the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar is also executed by the machine learning process.
4. The method according to claim 3 wherein the assisting to perform the virtual arm movement is also executed by the machine learning process.
5. The method according to claim 1 comprising determining one or more arm movement restrictions and wherein the determining of the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar is based on the one or more arm movement restrictions.
6. The method according to claim 1 wherein the arm movement restriction imposed by the clothing of the participant is the weight of the clothing.
7. The method according to claim 1 wherein the arm movement restriction imposed by the clothing of the participant is the elasticity of the clothing.
8. The method according to claim 1 wherein the arm movement restriction imposed by the clothing of the participant is the gap between the arm and at least one part of clothing that at least partially surrounds the arm.
9. The method according to claim 1 wherein the determining of the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar comprises determining a trajectory and speed of the movement.
10. A non-transitory computer readable medium for avatar virtual arm movement, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions for:
capturing, by a camera of a participant of a video conference, a hand gesture made by the participant without capturing an arm movement of the participant, the arm movement is associated with the hand gesture;
determining the arm movement of the participant, based on the hand gesture;
determining one or more arm movement restrictions that comprise an arm movement restriction imposed by a clothing of the participant; wherein the arm movement restriction is selected out of (a) a weight of the clothing, (b) an elasticity of the clothing, or (c) a gap between the arm and at least one part of clothing that at least partially surrounds the arm;
determining, based on the one or more arm movement restrictions, a virtual movement of an arm of an avatar of the participant within a virtual video conference environment, the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar of the participant mimics the arm movement of the participant; and
assisting to perform the virtual arm movement of the avatar within the virtual video conference environment.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 wherein the determining of the arm movement of the participant is executed by a machine learning process.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 wherein the determining of the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar is also executed by the machine learning process.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 wherein the assisting to perform the virtual arm movement is also executed by the machine learning process.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 that stores instructions for determining one or more arm movement restrictions and wherein the determining of the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar is based on the one or more arm movement restrictions.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 wherein the arm movement restriction imposed by the clothing of the participant is the weight of the clothing.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 wherein the arm movement restriction imposed by the clothing of the participant is the elasticity of the clothing.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 wherein the arm movement restriction imposed by the clothing of the participant is the gap between the arm and at least one part of clothing that at least partially surrounds the arm.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 wherein the determining of the virtual movement of the arm of the avatar comprises determining a trajectory and speed of the movement.
