Example gesture matching mechanisms are disclosed herein. An example machine readable storage device or disc includes instructions that, when executed, cause programmable circuitry to at least: prompt a user to perform gestures to register the user, randomly select at least one of the gestures for authentication of the user, prompt the user to perform the at least one selected gesture, translate the gesture into an animated avatar for display at a display device, the animated avatar including a face, analyze performance of the gesture by the user, and authenticate the user based on the performance of the gesture.

Gesture matching mechanism

An example apparatus is disclosed herein that includes a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor is to execute instructions to: select a gesture from a database, the gesture including a sequence of poses; translate the selected gesture into an animated avatar performing the selected gesture for display at a display device; display a prompt for the user to perform the selected gesture performed by the animated avatar; capture an image of the user performing the selected gesture; and perform a comparison between a gesture performed by the user in the captured image and the selected gesture to determine whether there is a match between the gesture performed by the user and the selected gesture.

A mechanism is described to facilitate gesture matching according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes selecting a gesture from a database during an authentication phase, translating the selected gesture into an animated avatar, displaying the avatar, prompting a user to perform the selected gesture, capturing a real-time image of the user and comparing the gesture performed by the user in the captured image to the selected gesture to determine whether there is a match.
