Claim Text:
1. A system configured to provide rewards to a user in a virtual space based on user performance of a gesture, the system comprising: one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: execute an instance of the virtual space, and to implement the instance of the virtual space to facilitate participation by users in the virtual space, wherein users participate in the virtual space by controlling virtual space elements by inputting commands that are executed in the virtual space; obtain gesture parameters that represent physical actions of the users in the real world, and to identify individual ones of multiple gestures performed by the users based on the obtained gesture parameters; determine gesture commands corresponding to the identified gestures such that responsive to a performance of a first action by a first user having gesture parameters that correspond to a first gesture such that the first action is identified as the first gesture, wherein a first gesture command that corresponds to the first gesture is determined and executed; determine a first gesture metric quantifying a quality of user performance of the first gesture, wherein the first gesture metric is determined based on the obtained gesture parameters for the first action; provide access for the first user to a first set of reward content in the virtual space based on the first gesture metric determined for the first user; determine whether the first gesture metric determined for performance of the first gesture by the first user breaches a first threshold; and associate a second gesture which is different than the first gesture with the first gesture command responsive to a determination that the first gesture metric determined for performance of the first gesture by the first user has breached the first threshold so that subsequent and responsive to such association, identification of the second gesture results in execution of the first gesture command, and provide, responsive to a determination that the first gesture metric determined for performance of the first gesture by the first user breaches a second threshold, a second set of reward content to the first user.
