This is the measurement

The calibrator is a simple virtual measuring tape that is on the camera image and can be generated directly on it. To do this, you can select any starting point and set an endpoint, and you will see the actual distance between these two points. Thanks to strong zoomed reality algorithms, Google’s app can estimate distances well and provide almost reliable values ​​accordingly.

In many test runs, the application is usually only two centimeters above two meters. However, since the application is designed only for the approximate resolution of the paths, of course a professional tool cannot be replaced, which is completely sufficient. In the following screenshots you can see some examples of the measurement process.

There were issues with authentication here and there, but these can certainly be removed and the application continues to be provided.

Will Google Lens be back?
Of course, the full application can be stopped to move the function to another location, where it is often perceived and used by users. At that time there were considerations to integrate such a feature in the camera application, but this was soon rejected.
