AR Measuring Tape
Measure anything in the real world using AR.
About This Project
AR Measuring Tape transforms any smartphone into a precision measuring instrument, using augmented reality and device sensors to measure distances, areas, and volumes in the real world. The app goes far beyond simple point-to-point measurements — users can measure the dimensions of furniture, calculate wall areas for painting estimates, determine room volumes for HVAC planning, and even measure objects that would be difficult to access with a physical tape. On LiDAR-equipped devices, accuracy approaches professional laser measurers. The app saves measurements with photographs, making it ideal for contractors documenting job sites, real estate professionals creating floor plans, and homeowners planning renovations. Measurements export to PDF reports, CAD files, and popular home design applications. A unique collaborative mode lets remote experts guide on-site workers through measurements using shared AR sessions.
