This tag marks the first "grito"/"cry" for the vailá: Versatile Anarcho Integrated Liberation Ánalysis in Multimodal Toolbox. Inspired by the principles of liberation and empowerment, much like Brazil’s independence on September 7, 1822, this release embodies the core philosophy of vailá: the freedom to use versatile, open-source tools for biomechanical analysis, breaking away from the constraints of expensive proprietary software.
Notable Features:
Opens a graphical interface that displays the vailá logo alongside its manifesto, a message reinforcing the spirit of freedom, creativity, and innovation.
Ensures compatibility across different environments (terminal and graphical launch methods), automatically adjusting paths for seamless operation.
Special Tribute: This first release is dedicated to Kyle and Lucas, two wonderful children whose support and motivation were a constant source of strength throughout the development of vailá. Their encouragement helped bring this project to life, and this milestone is a tribute to the inspiration they provided.
Philosophy:
"vailá" is a call to action, blending the sound of the French word "voilà" with the Portuguese encouragement "vai lá". It symbolizes the invitation to explore, create, and innovate without the limitations of expensive, commercial software. This toolbox offers the freedom to perform analyses using a wide range of data systems, promoting collaboration and open access in motion analysis.
