Augmented Reality Tape Measures

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

AR Measure Turns a Phone into a Measuring Tape

— June 28, 2017 — Art & Design
AR Measure has arrived to remind consumers that there's no problem augmented reality can't solve. Most people can't locate, or don't own measuring devices due to the lack of frequency they're required, resulting in desperate improvised guesswork. AR Measure is a new app with precise accuracy that measures objects for the user with augmented reality and a smartphone camera.

Using augmented reality, the app measures 3D points in space -- simply pointing the camera at a desired object will provide users with digital, but accurate measurements. This app would prove highly useful for home improvements or DIY activities, as it turns one's phone into a useful resource, allowing users to measure chairs, tables or other furniture items.

Augmented reality is at the forefront of technology design, resulting in a surge of apps and services that find solutions for even the most minuscule of problems.
Trend Themes
1. Augmented Reality Measuring - AR is changing the way we measure objects by using smartphones as measuring devices and providing accurate measurements.
2. DIY AR Apps - AR is providing a new set of tools for home improvement and DIY enthusiasts, which has the potential to revolutionize the way we work on our homes.
3. AR Tape Measure Innovations - AR tape measure apps are just the beginning of a wave of new AR measuring tools that could be developed to bring enormous value and efficiency to many industries.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - AR measuring tools could revolutionize the way that construction is accomplished by providing more efficient measurements and reducing waste.
2. Interior Design - AR measuring tools can help interior designers take measurements accurately and quickly before even starting on a project.
3. E-commerce - AR measuring tools could provide a way for e-commerce companies to offer customers a way to accurately measure items for purchase without leaving their homes.
