Learning Physics through Video Analysis and Modelling




Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool built on the Open Source Physics (OSP) Java framework. It is designed to be used in physics education. Tracker video modeling is a powerful way to combine videos with computer modeling.

Using Tracker we get position and time data for an object in motion. This is usually done with the drop timer or the motion detector, where as in video analysis, we use a program to mark an object in each frame of a video. This gives 2-dimensional position data (both x and y) as well as time. With this data we can analyze it as per our requirement.
