ok...... Im switching to an old convertable lap top with Win. 7 (AKA has a bit of a tablet like feature to it) and would like to use Kinovea QUICKLY to show students a clip just videoed and point out ways to improve Similar to say how someone would use Coaches Eye, V1Golf etc etc.

what are your suggestions for using in this manner......... besides of course adding a rear facing camera to the lap top.

Bit the bullet after making final decision on what used laptop/tablet to buy on a coaches budget.   So above questions now refer to a

2010? era laptop/tablet HP2710p   Converts from Laptop to tablet.
Wacom type touch screen  (aka- input via the stylus on screen or with a keyboard.  Not finger touch)
4gb ram (presently two but new ram on the way)
Centuron?  dual core
Win.7  64bit  (Would switch to Fedora OS if kinovea was available in Linux HINT HINT HINT)

Now got to budget in a clip on webcam that can do what is needed.  Open to suggestions.

Use tablet for daily enrolment record keeping but most importantly for skill/drill acquisition record keeping and lesson individualizing. Thus the need for something larger than 10" tablets.   List and records are used to do on the fly decisions for individualising instruction based on student's needs. Typical tablets have too small a screen for getting quick view of a good size chunk of this information. Having to swipe around screens is a waste of time and IMHO breaks up the instructors thought process.
