I'd be happen to send single user complementary copies of World-in-Motion to
members on the list that may be considering a video analysis package. As
John mentions, the software is for PCs only, Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and Me.
These will be preliminary copies of Version 4.0 and I would appreciate any
comments. If you would like a single user complementary copy, please contact
me off the list with your mailing address at:
raacc@aol.com
The CDs will be recordable CDs and I will limit the requests to the first one
hundred responses. Expect the CDs to be delivered by mail sometime between
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

the distinct advantage of allowing students to see several kinematic
quantities at once on the screen. Unfortunately World in motion can not do
this http://members.aol.com/raacc/wim.html. However, World in Motion is
cheaper. Another good alternative is Bob Beicher's program VideoGraph
available from Physics Academic Software http://wasnet02ws.physics.ncsu.edu/pasnew/. There was a free program called
VidShell available at one time from Doyle Davis.
Both VideoGraph and VidePoint are similar. Each has added features of the
other. VideoGraph is for MacIntosh only, while VideoPoint is Mac or PC.
World in Motion is PC only. VideoGraph may be easier for students to use,
and World in Motion is very easy to use.
