Can you use it just as a laser measure?
Might need to be voice activated as you wouldn't be able to see the touch screen with the phone pressed against a wall (unless you could use front camera somehow).

+1 for the floorplans, would be great if you could pirouette around the house and get an accurate set of dimensions as you go

Hi peter & gaci, we have it in our roadmap. If we can finish this function before Sept, we will have it in 1.0 software.

This one might be tricky...

The ability to insert a plane (or multiple planes) in the AR app and have it persist from room to room, potentially with x-ray.

Lets say I want to plan a staircase, it would be nice to do this:
1) Draw a horizontal line at the top or bottom of the staircase
2) Create a plane from that line at the appropriate angle.
3) wander around to see where it would come through any wall/ceiling.
4) add the walls/ceilings as planes
5) make adjustments to start/end point and be able to see the changes (maybe from a different room)

Hi Peter,

interesting application. I need to discuss it with our team, get back to you later.

And another one...

Able to locate a remote object of your choice (e.g. a separate laser, led, small picture of jean luc picard).

From your video on kickstarter, there is a picture hanging application. But you need at least two people of this, since the measurement would be displayed on the screen.

If there was a separate object that can be used a locator, you could place the phone on a tripod (or other support) and move the object around on the wall until you heard a beep, then you knew you were in the right spot.

The other alternative would be to be able to set up the laser to point at one point, then the next etc. And for the phone to indicate if it loses location. In fact if you provided the difference between the laser location and the desired spots, I could probably knock up a motorised tripod to move between the points pretty easily.

Hi Peter,

About generating a persist plane, it is technically easy to do. The problem is, if you move to another room, the lighting environment varies, and the plane may move slightly. Not sure, we will test it, and let you know the result.

Since there is the option of a floor plan, would be great if measurements could be exported to any cad format. I am also interested on the option you mentioned for implementing curves.

christos Hi Christos, we will have an update later this year for export and import. CAD format is definitely a big part of it. For the curve measuring, we are working on an algorithm, still having issues about the accuracy. We will post a demo once we finish the development. Stay tuned.

I purchased one via Kickstart ER, cannot wait to receive. I have not even seen the software yet, so I don't know if this feature already exists or not, but here goes. It would be very nice if the software could easily save images along with the AR measurements for a job. This way I could keep records of measurements visually for different jobs I work.

I run a full bed cnc machine in my woodshop so I'm excited to get my hands on one of these as it should help me immensely with capturing measurements to translate on the cnc Machine.

Tried to post this but something went wrong.

I’m a luthier (guitar maker) and I’m very keen to see how this can map the dimensions of a guitar. Centre line, bout and waist width, body depth, sound hold. Also, I could be used for all manner of smaller wood work tasks.

Hi,
I'm voting for the CAD implementation! As you can do 3D, it would be superb to have a point cloud -or even a STEP or IGES file formats. With those you could do a simple model that has all the important dimensions at single file -with that you can model the whole "thing" easily and fast in 3D software.

Luxoris Hi Luxoris, Technically it is easy to calculate. Do you know any software have this function yet? Normally how do you do it? We just need to understand the whole process to get the function right.

akommireddi We had a video for measuring the tree. You can find it here:

Yes, we have the plan for SDK, but we need to focus on basic function release first.

Highcountryguitarsaustralia Hi, thanks for your question! Yes, it can. We will measure a guitar and make a raw footage.

Mercury049 Thanks for the support! Yes, it can save the image with AR measurement.

Miguel- Hi Miguel-, to generate a point cloud which can be transformed to 3D, the laser frequency needs get 50,000 - 100,000 / s. So the scanning process can be completed within shot time. Arrim ONE's laser is phrase-shift type, and is not able to do it.

Hello yang, I don't mean a "full scale point cloud" but so that it records only points you've "measured". This way you could do a very simple point cloud that you can use for 3D models.. Or you could do 3D drawings with lines and circles by measuring them.
