# How does it work ?

<mark style="color:$danger;">**As of January 28, 2026, the Pixel Tracking feature is deprecated and is no longer actively maintained.**</mark>\ <mark style="color:$danger;">**It will remain available for teams who still rely on it, but we won’t ship further improvements or provide ongoing maintenance for it.**</mark>

<mark style="color:$danger;">**If you need a custom version (or an alternative approach), we can build and support a tailored solution, happy to discuss your needs on a quick call:**</mark> [<mark style="color:$danger;">**https://calendly.com/fabrice-sepret/shaping-the-future-of-posetracker**</mark>](https://calendly.com/fabrice-sepret/shaping-the-future-of-posetracker)

We provide a pixel that receives images to detect human body key points and analyze motion within those images (such as counting squats, giving recommendations during pushups, tracking lunges progression, etc.).

**Everything stay client side :**&#x20;

* ❌ no streaming&#x20;
* ❌ no latency
* &#x20;❌ privacy problems

**Pose estimation**&#x20;

We track 17 keypoints of the human body on a 2D plane:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://posetracker.gitbook.io/posetracker-api/pixel-tracking-deprecated/how-does-it-work.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
