PoseTracker Studio: Custom Movements from a Description
Describe a movement in chat. Studio writes the tracking spec and a skeleton preview — catalog shortcuts or a gesture that never existed. Public explainer; the app itself stays behind sign-in.
· Markdown
Studio is how PoseTracker v2 authors movement. You describe a gesture in ordinary language. The assistant writes the tracking spec. The skeleton you see is synthesized from that spec — the same contract the live engine uses.
This page is the public, indexable explainer. The working chat for custom movements lives in the app after sign-in. We do not ask search engines to index app.posetracker.com.
Two doors
- Guest Studio on www.posetracker.com — catalog intents. Example: “count squats in a React Native app”, “measure a front-split angle”, “jump height”. You get a copy-paste snippet. A free API key is required for the snippet to track.
- Signed-in Studio at app.posetracker.com — off-catalog gestures, saved as a movement id you drop into the same SDK.
What “custom” means
A catalog squat is a shortcut. A neck mobility drill with arms in a T is not in anyone’s 2024 list. Studio’s job is to turn that description into:
- required joints (what the camera must see),
- metrics (angles, distances, thresholds),
- phases (what “good” looks like in time),
- a preview that only moves those joints.
If the spec does not mention wrists, the preview does not invent a T-pose. Title-only edits are not a successful change.
Limits: 2D, one person, 17 COCO keypoints, visible to a phone camera. No hands mesh, no IMU fusion, no 3D mocap.
Who it is for
Fitness, yoga, wellness, PT and coaching products that will invent protocols instead of waiting for a vendor class. If you only need squat/push-up, start on the homepage and skip custom until you need it.
Deeper product framing: PoseTracker v2. Engine choice: MoveNet vs MediaPipe.
Not this Studio
PoseTracker is unrelated to PoseTrackerVRC (VRChat), to desktop 3D “pose tracker” plugins, and to general ChatGPT usage. The in-product assistant is scoped to PoseTracker integrations (see terms).
FAQ
Can I track a movement that is not in the catalog?
Yes. In PoseTracker Studio you describe any 2D-visible gesture in chat. Studio authors the tracking spec (required joints, angles, distances, phases) and the skeleton preview follows that spec. Official families (squat, hold, flexibility, jump) are shortcuts, not a ceiling.
Is Studio a public playground or a signed-in product?
Both. The homepage guest Studio matches catalog requests (count squats in React Native, jump height, front-split angle) to a snippet. Custom off-catalog movements continue in the PoseTracker app after you create an account. The app host is not meant to be indexed.
Does renaming a card change what is tracked?
No. The tracker and the preview read metrics and phases, not the title. If a joint is not in the spec, it stays unused.
What can Studio not do?
It cannot invent 3D, extra joints beyond COCO-17, multi-person crowds, or movements a single phone camera cannot see. It is not a general coding assistant.
