That smartphones are a good work tool is something that is not lost on anyone. The curious thing is to know that, with their features, they are also the perfect substitute for more practical tools such as the meter, pencil or paper Or at least that's what they try to demonstrate the application RoomScan A tool that allows you to create plans of rooms and entire houses just by walking around with a iPhone from wall to wall.
This is a very curious application that will surprise more than one by being able to draw reliable plans of different rooms just by bringing your mobile closer to its walls. An idea that is striking and quite effective, although it must be said that the final results have a fairly large margin of error of up to ten centimeters. Nothing that can't be fixed by manually entering the actual distances of the walls and area being measured.
The operation of this tool is also surprising for its simplicity. Just start RoomScan, select a new scan with the button + and follow the instructions. When the terminal screen indicates it, all you have to do is place the mobile against a wall in the room and wait for the beep to confirm the position.After that, just go wall by wall to the right, repeating these steps at each angle, regardless of the shape of the room or the exact position in which it is placed the terminal. And it is that RoomScan is in charge of making the calculations to represent it realistically. Of course, you have to finish the scanning process on the second wall counting from the one you started.
In a few seconds, and if everything went well, a very approximate plan of the room appears on the screen, with all its angles , corners and so on. The good thing about RoomScan is that it also has other interesting functions like add doors and windowsto make the plane even more detailed. Along with this, it is possible to store all the plans in different folders to associate them with the same place or property, being able to have everything organized to consult at any time.Also, if you have a meter stick or any other more exact measurement tool, it is possible to enter all this data to get an almost professional plan.
All for free. Although RoomScan has a paid version that multiplies its possibilities by being able to join different plans to have a whole house in the same document. Without the need to perform tedious tasks, just using the sensors of the terminal. It also offers full customization with colors and the ability to add doors and windows during scanning.
In short, an application that makes good use of the gyroscope and accelerometer of the iPhone to know and draw an approximate plan effortlessly and in just a couple of minutes. But the best part is that RoomScan is fully downloadable free for both iPhone as for iPad through App Store Also here you can find its paid version for 4.49 euros. Of course, it is only available in English.
