Measure the area and perimeter of any space by walking around it and placing markers in AR. The perimeter and area is recorded automatically, and you can export the results as a PDF blueprint.
My brother owns a landscaping business and he always asks me to help him measure out areas, because i'm better at doing math... so i had the idea do do something with ARKit, similar to the built-in Measurements app, just make it work outdoors and be able to record and export the measurements in a more professional way.
@passatgt Congrats on the launch! The AR measuring concept sounds super useful, especially for outdoor projects where precision is key. Love that it goes beyond the basic measurement tools and can generate professional PDFsāperfect for landscapers and DIY enthusiasts. How does it handle uneven terrain or obstacles while measuring?
Hey Viszt,
How accurate are the AR measurements compared to traditional tools?
Have you tested it in various lighting conditions?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Hi! I compared with a measuring wheel. On a 50m distance, an iPhone 13 recored slightly higher values, between 50.2-50.4 meters. So pretty accurate, considering that newer iPhone's with Lidar supposed to be even better. About lightning conditions, it doesn't work in dark obviously(but in dark you won't see your measuring tape either:) Once it picks up the plane, it tracks accurately. Elevation changes can be a problem, so if the area you measure on a slope, or has areas between that are on a slop, i recommend measuring separate smaller areas for more accuracy.
@lumi_nertan Thanks! It can work indoors, but it is designed for outdoor use, because the markers you place area pretty large, so you can see it from a distance. I never really tested maximum, but i was able to measure out a 50x30m area with around 98.7% accuracy on average. I was kinda tempted to fix the accuracy by code, but then different phones produce slightly different results, so i left it. Depends on the hardware, camera calibration i guess. But either way its accurate enough to do quick measurements, estimates and just to get a top-down view of the area you are working on.
