Measure the length of objects using augmented reality on any ARCore device
Originally Tango-exclusive app, 'Measure' is now available for all ARCore supported devices! Download the application and measure anything digitally!
Google's augmented reality-based app "Measure" was released in September of 2016 for Project Tango devices. As the name suggests, it's an application that lets you measure the length and height of objects. Today, Google has made the app available for all ARCore supported devices. You can also save the measured object's photo and switch between imperial and metrical units. This video shows how Measure works. You just place two markers and the magic happens.
Project Tango is Dead and is Succeeded by Google ARCore
Support for Project Tango will be turned down on March 1, 2018. It means that the platform is dead and will be succeeded by Google ARCore.
Google saw the potential in augmented reality technology a long way back. The company first announced the Project Tango AR platform in November 2014, and the first consumer Google Tango phone was released as the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro in 2016. Tango relied on dedicated hardware in the form of sensors and cameras to enable a device to see in 3D space. It showed promise, but for multiple reasons, it never really took off.
