| These controls are fairly self-explanatory -- adjusting the controls changes the perspective of the live camera view. The ''Shear'' controls are used less often, which is why they aren't normally displayed. | These controls are fairly self-explanatory -- adjusting the controls changes the perspective of the live camera view.

Vizy is rotated 90 degrees to capture more of the vertical motion -- check out the picture of Vizy below (Vizy is on its side looking up). Note also, it's hooked up to a [[wiki:powering_vizy#powering-vizy-through-the-usb-c-connector|portable charger for power]]. |

| - | Before we adjust the perspective the ''x velocity'' graph is curved, but after the perspective is corrected, the ''y velocity'' graph becomes a straight line, which is what you'd expect from an object experiencing constant acceleration. (Not to confuse things, but the ''x velocity'' graph becomes the ''y velocity graph'' after we rotate (roll) the perspective 90 degrees.) | + | Before we adjust the perspective the ''x velocity'' graph is curved, but after the perspective is corrected, the ''y velocity'' graph becomes a straight line, which is what you'd expect from an object experiencing constant acceleration.
