Side by Side Analysis
Introduction
Yogger offers the ability to compare videos side by side in the playback view. The side-by-side analysis feature allows users to play two videos on the same screen and play them synchronously.
Location: This feature is found in the playback view, under “additional features.”
Purpose and Functionality
Side-by-side analysis is used to compare movement from two different times, giving users the ability to play and view two different videos simultaneously. This makes it easier to compare the motion taking place in each video. All analysis tools present in the playback view are also available in the side-by-side view. This allows users to collect more information on one screen and draw meaningful conclusions about their movements.
How To Compare Videos Side by Side
The side-by-side analysis function is located in the additional features in the “Playback View.” Once you select the side-by-side option, you will be given an option of where to choose your new video for comparison. Users can choose a video from their library or upload a new video from the camera roll.
During Side By Side Comparison
Once you are in side-by-side mode, Yogger operates very similarly to the normal playback view. Users can take a screenshot, toggle tracking, isolate joints, and take advantage of all the other major features in the playback view. The major difference is being able to sync the videos together. Syncing the videos will toggle the playback controls so a single play/pause and search will control the two videos simultaneously. Pressing the sync button again will go back to two individual playback controls.
Tips and Best Practices
Side-by-side motion analysis is a versatile tool that can be applied in numerous fields to enhance performance, reduce the risk of injury, and improve overall movement and posture. Whether you’re an athlete looking to excel in your sport or an individual seeking to move more efficiently and safely in your daily life, this technology can be a valuable resource. Some use cases include:
- Sports Performance Analysis: Compare movements to professionals to identify areas for improvement.
