Overview

A precise contribution to an established AR measurement product.

The product

Measure Tools turns an Android device into an augmented-reality measuring system for objects, rooms and outdoor spaces. Its public feature set includes free point-to-point measurement, horizontal and vertical modes, 3D box preview, chain measurements, angle display, area and perimeter calculation, saved measurement images, folders, sharing, and metric or imperial units.

My contribution

I did not build the complete Measure Tools application. My engagement focused on upgrading its scanning workflow: the application now scans the broader physical space, while the interface reveals only the relevant measurement-start area around the current center point or raycast hit. A circular focus treatment and surrounding fade help users understand exactly where a measurement can begin without exposing distracting scan data across the full view.

I also resolved application issues and optimized existing code to improve stability, clarity and maintainability within the delivered scope.

Contribution benefits

  • Scan the complete surrounding space while presenting only relevant placement feedback
  • Make the measurement start point easier to understand around the active raycast hit
  • Reduce visual noise through a focused circular reveal and peripheral fade
  • Improve application reliability through targeted fixes and code optimization

Application capabilities

  • Free, horizontal and vertical measurement modes
  • 3D box preview and multidirectional measurement
  • Chain measurements with area and perimeter calculation
  • Angle display, saved results, folders and sharing
