Distance Measure

Smart Distance Measure

This application turns your Android phone into a range finder, distance finder, and tape measure with no additional attachments needed. This application uses your device's camera to accurately calculate the distances of surrounding objects. This is a great golf range finder or distance measure for golf. The average golf flag is 7 feet tall. So input 7 feet for the height for a golf flag and then place measurement lines on the top and bottom of the flag for an accurate measurement of your distance from the flag :)

Before making your first measurement make sure to calibrate your device. The calibration take less than 10 seconds and is very easy. Nothing additional is needed, simply tap the two white dots on the screen and your device will be calibrated. The calibration is important for accuracy. You may need to adjust closer to either the top or bottom of the white circles for more accurate results. This will depend on what device you have. Though it it not necessary, verifying a proper calibration with a ruler or measuring stick will guarantee more accurate results every time for the lifetime of the application. Once a device is properly calibrated it is not necessary to re-calibrate.

Directions: (after calibrating)

1) Enter the objects height (tap the text box in the top right hand corner and input the height value via keyboard)

2) Adjust the units of measurement (tap the height drop down box located directly above the height input text box)

3) Line up the top and bottom lines with top and bottom of the object (tap the top of the object and slide finger until aligned)

4) Read the distance value :)

This application can convert between inches, feet, yards, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers.

Tap the height and distance drop downs to see list of conversions.

This application was developed on the Samsung Galaxy line of devices but should work for all devices with a rear facing camera.
