Google is not increasingly coming out Augmented Reality Use the measuring tape to say goodbye and a few days ago without any big announcement Calibration Set. Some users may not be aware of this app, but it is no longer available in the Play Store. We will show you the possibilities of the application, which you can still download and install.
Google completely stopped its VR aspirations a long time ago, and in the developed reality area, people have long distinguished themselves only by pulling the plug on popular products, thus getting the terms “popular” relative view in the AR area. Now it has hit the next application, which may not be known to many users, but it will be very helpful.
With Calibration The smartphone camera can be converted into a virtual tape measure, which allows it to measure all possible surfaces and objects. This is made possible by the magnified reality, which already has such material recognition and can provide relatively accurate dimensions of visible objects. Of course, you should not trust the last millimeter, but with some exceptions the results were very accurate.
The application has now disappeared from the Play Store and can no longer be downloaded. The app is still accessible to those who already have it installed Enable store listing Access and use will be notified. If it is already installed, it should still be possible to use it. But you can still do it In the APK Mirror download Install.
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.
Unfortunately, it is not clear why Google stopped using the app without much fuss, after all, without prior notice. This is probably one of the most sensible developed reality applications, because so far “future technology” is mainly used for fun purposes or in advertising. 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. It is possible that you can do it now Google Lens Without question, it will integrate where it fits well.
