VideoPoint lets you easily gather angular position, velocity and acceleration values from movies. This particular example shows an amusement park ride where the riders are spun around vertically. In this example you will learn how to move the origin (so it's at the center of the wheel), plot angular position and velocity and model data using a cosine function.
