Rangefinder
The applications for smartphones have proven to be an inexhaustible source of creativity, ingenuity and entertainment And there are tools for absolutely everything. Even to measure distances without using a meter The application Rangefinder has been created for this purpose. curious tool that makes use of the camera and sensors of the Android device to calculate approximate and quite precise distances and heights.All this in a simple way and without the need for work tools.
Just install Range Finder in the terminal and perform a couple of simple steps to take different measurements. The good thing is that the application takes care of performing all the calculations and settings in a wayautomatic Thus, the user only has to worry about pointing and shooting Of course, always having note that the means are approximate, never completely true. Although its margin of error is quite tight.
The operation is simple. You just have to hold the terminal, preferably standing, and aim with the signal that appears in the middle of the screen at the feet of the object in order to know the distance from the user.The application is in charge of making the trigonometric calculations thanks to the terminal's sensors that measure the angle of inclination and the height from which the photograph is shot to know the distance. This is displayed on the right side of the screen in meters
After that the user can use Range Finder to perform another calculation: the height Without moving from your position, you just need to point the device's camera to the upper end of the object that you want to measure. Thus, all you have to do is click on the button on the left side of the screen to make the capture and the final calculation Only with the new inclination and the distance reference , Rangefinder is in charge of calculating the height of said object, achieving the most surprising accurate results.
Thus, the user has a meter in the same application capable of measuring short and long distances, in addition to the height ofsmall objects or even buildingsAll this in a simple way and in just a minute. Just take two pictures In addition, Range Finder has several tricks up its sleeve. One of them is the possibility to calibrate the sensors of measurement to get an even closer result thanks to the menu at the top of the screen. The other issue is to carry out the calculation if the user is at a higher point than the base of the object that he wants to measure Issue that its creators have taken into account allowing to add the value of the height to get a more adjusted measurement to reality.
In short, an application that users used to or who need to take quick measurements can use from their own terminal. In addition, the Range Finder app is completely Free Downloadable for devices Android via Google Play
