Measure App for Augmented Reality Now Works on All ARCore-Supported Devices

Measure App

Should you own a device that supports ARCore, which is any of the devices listed here, you can now download and use the Measure app.

This app can be very clutch if you're looking to roughly measure spaces around the house or anywhere else. Did someone say the most handy tool ever for taking a trip to IKEA? Yes, sir. As an example, you can measure the length and height of objects in your home, such as ​ the size of a rug, the width of a cabinet, or the height of a table. It's beautiful.

After taking measurements, you can save them to the device for easy access later, helping you whenever you're out and about at the furniture shop or hardware store.

If you own an ARCore supported device, get on it!

Google's formerly Tango-only Measure comes to ARCore devices

-
...Google Measure, an app that — get this — lets you measure things, debuted in 2016 as a Tango exclusive. But with advances in augmented reality tech in more mainstream handsets, a lot of things only Tango could do are trickling down to devices regular people use. That includes Measure, which is now compatible with ARCore devices.If you're familiar with AR, the experience is pretty simple: place two markers in real-world locations and get the distance between the two. Check out this handy video of the app in action:VIDEOMeasure can discern length or height for items both large (think furniture) and small (bananas, obviously). In my experience, it struggles a little on large, featureless surfaces, like ceilings or bare walls, but it's useful in some situations where using a tape measure might be inconvenient. At the very least, it's pretty fun to play with.

AR is still a budding technology, but it has the prospects to become ubiquitous in the future. Both Google and Apple offer a for-the-masses AR platform for their respective ecosystems, in the form of ARKit and ARCore, which can be implemented by developers to create all kinds of interesting experiences. But getting into augmented reality is not an easy thing for people without any programming experience, and Google wants to change this.
In a bid to help foster a new generation of AR creators, Google has collaborated with Coursera to release a free introductory ...

ARCore is a software development kit (SDK) launched by Google to allow developers to create mixed reality apps. It's similar to Project Tango but that one is already dead. Before 2017 ended, Google pulled the plug on Project Tango and started pushing for ARCore. It's augmented reality for Android devices which was introduced to the mobile industry August last year as a usable AR platform. It's now being integrated into a number of new apps such as Google Street View and Maps.We only know a few ARCore apps. Thereis the Atom Visualizer as the first ARCore app on Google Play. Street View and Maps were integrated with ARCore right away. Since Augmented Reality was given focus by Google and ARCore 1.0 for developers was launched at the MWC 2018, more AR-related good news have been reported including Just A Line becoming an app from just being a simple and regular Google AR Experiment, ARCore coming to the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ phones, and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S arriving with ARCo…

Google's AR tape measure app is now available on all ARCore-enabled devices

-
Google Measure is a digital tape measure app that up until now was exclusive to Tango-enabled phones, but since Google dropped support for the AR platform in March, the app is now available to all ARCore-supported devices.
ARCore is Google's new augmented reality platform and it has a much broader scope, in that it's supposed to work on as many phones as possible, instead of on just a few devices with specialized hardware. As such, it has a much broader appeal and is a perfect match for Google Measure, which also has a very broad appeal. Tape measure in your pocket at any time ...
