A system for marker-based pose estimation includes display of a 3D human body model on a display screen. The system includes circuitry that assigns a weight to each marker of a plurality of markers distributed on a human body. The circuitry determines an objective function for each joint of the plurality of joints based on a set of descendant markers. The circuitry updates each parameter of a first plurality of parameters that defines a first pose of the human body, based on a change in a value of the objective function. The circuitry determines a second plurality of parameters that defines a second pose of the human body based on the updated first plurality of parameters. The circuitry controls movement of the rigged 3D human body model on the display screen in synchronization with the second pose.
