Vernier Video Physics 1.2
Device: iOS Universal
Category: Education
Price: $2.99, Version: 1.1.3 -> 1.2 (iTunes)
Description:*2012 CODiE Awards Finalist - Best Educational Use of a Mobile Device*Video Physics brings physics video analysis to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Take a video of an object in motion, mark its position frame by frame, and set up the scale using a known distance. Video Physics then draws trajectory, position, and velocity graphs for the object. Share video, graphs and data to facebook, your Photo Library and to your computer running Vernier's Logger Pro software.Video Physics is perfect for physics students and instructors. Perform on-the-go analysis of interesting motions. Measure the velocity of a child's swing, a roller-coaster, or a car. Or, take a video of a basketball free throw shot. Video Physics will display the path of the ball and provide graphs of Y vs X as well as the X and Y position and velocity as a function of time.Quotes from physics teachers:"Just played with new Vernier video physics app on iPhone - it ROCKS! I remember the day when this would've cost thousands of dollars to do ." Mark Hines @mhines, teacher"You should check out Vernier's Video Physics app. Students can email video analysis data to Logger Pro; very cool!!" @willkomme, physics teacherVernier’s Video Physics app is slick. - Ryan Bretag @ryanbretag, teacher and administratorApp store featured: Staff Favorite, New and Noteworthy, and What's Hot!Features of Vernier Video Physics:• Capture a new video using the built-in camera, choose a video from your photo library, or use one of our sample videos.• Mark the position of one object, frame by frame.• Set the scale of the video using an object of known size.• Optionally set coordinate system location and rotation.• View graphs of trajectory, and x/y position and velocity.• Export the marked video to Facebook or your Photo Library. Graphs are appended to video.• Email the video and data for further analysis in Vernier's Logger Pro software for OSX and Windows.Supported hardware:• iPhone 3GS or newer• iPod touch 3rd generation or newer• iPad and iPad 2**iPod touch 1st and 2nd generation, original iPhone, and iPhone 3G are NOT compatible with Vernier Video Physics, due to hardware limitations.See the Video Physics support page for instructions on transferring video to a device without a camera.Hints for taking useful videos:• Do not move the camera. Analysis assumes the camera is fixed in position.• The object in motion should remain approximately in a plane perpendicular to the viewing direction.• Know the dimensions of an object (such as a ruler) in the same plane as the motion. You will need this to scale the video.Video Physics is intended for use in physics education. The video analysis done in Video Physics is a useful technique for studying two-dimensional kinematics. You can do even more with Vernier's Logger Pro software for Mac OS X and Windows.Mirroring to HDMI works with iPad 2 and Digital Connector.
What's New
Thanks for all your support and for making Vernier Video Physics one of the most popular educational apps for science!With this update, iPad users can perform data analysis on their video data with enhanced integration with Vernier Graphical Analysis™!Download Graphical Analysis from the App Store, then use the "Open data in…" function to:☞ Make selections and annotations.☞ Calculate statistics such as max, min, mean.☞ Perform fits, including linear, quadratic and more.☞ Create custom high-resolution graph images for email and export.⚠ Please note: Due to changes in the Facebook interface, this version of Video Physics does not support sharing directly to Facebook. You can still post to Facebook by saving to the Camera Roll first and using the Facebook app or web interface. If in-app support of Facebook is important to you, please skip this update and let us know at:connectedscience@vernier.comAdditional features:• Open data files in Dropbox or Google Drive to store and retrieve them. Later use the files with Graphical Analysis or Logger Pro.• Support for 4-inch display of iPhone 5 and 5th-generation iPod touch. :)• New high-resolution controls for iPad with retina display. :)• Bug fixes and performance improvements for import and export, adding and deleting points, frame advance, adjustment of axes, and more.
