Measure AR.

A mobile AR prototype for placing measurements and visualising detected surfaces within a live camera view.

Two genuine prototype captures arranged for this cover: doorway measurements and detected surface geometry.

About the work.

Measure AR explores how spatial measurements can be placed directly over the physical environment. Users position endpoints, inspect distance labels and compare horizontal and vertical measurements within the camera view.

The prototype combines AR tracking with editable measurement points and surface visualisation. Its development explored how to show both the dimensions being measured and the geometry detected by the device.

What it can do.

Place and refine measurements

Position two endpoints in the AR view and see the distance between them, with controls for editing existing measurements.

  • Point-to-point distance readouts in metres
  • Endpoint editing and snapping to existing points
  • Multiple horizontal and vertical measurements in one view

Inspect spatial context

Keep measurement lines overlaid on the camera feed and inspect the detected surface geometry during prototype development.

  • Measurement lines and labels positioned in 3D space
  • Surface-mesh visualisation over the physical environment
