Claim 17:
18. A method for virtually representing human body poses, the method comprising:
receiving sparse positioning data detailing parameters for a head and one or both hands of a human user based at least in part on input from one or more sensors;
maintaining one or more mapping constraints relating a model articulated representation to a target articulated representation, the model articulated representation having a different number of joints from the target articulated representation;
concurrently estimating, via a previously-trained pose optimization machine, a model pose of the model articulated representation and a target pose of the target articulated representation based at least in part on the sparse positioning data and the one or more mapping constraints, wherein the previously-trained pose optimization machine is trained with training positioning data having ground truth labels for the model articulated representation; and
outputting the target articulated representation with the target pose as a virtual representation of the human user for display.
