Three apps for annotating and analyzing moving images in performance and education

Simona Caraceni reviews three apps designed for annotating and analyzing video content, particularly useful for performance arts, education, and audiovisual production. Coach's Eye, originally developed for team sports, allows directors to annotate rehearsal videos with text or sketches and share them with the entire company. It supports multiple simultaneous video sources from different stage angles, enabling precise artistic direction. Available on iOS, Android, and Windows, it is a paid subscription service. Wonda, a platform for creating interactive audiovisual storytelling, evolved from Klynt software. It offers desktop versions for major operating systems and an app for exploring produced content. Wonda explicitly supports interactive storytelling with virtual reality across many current platforms, with a free version and in-app purchases on iOS. Movia is a tool for annotating videos and tracking notable content within audiovisual flows, useful for education to transform passive viewing into active learning. It also serves research and audiovisual production. Movia is free on Android and available on GitHub. The article was published in Artribune Magazine #41.
