Measure moving - Flying Ruler (Theme from the author) Version: 2.0.1
Last update of the program in the header:07.03.2015 Starting with version 2.0, the design has changed, but the principle remained the same, so I will leave old screenshots.
Short description: Measurement of the distance and angles by simply moving the device.
Description: Flying Ruler will allow you to measure the distance in the most unusual way: you simply transfer your device from one place to another.
In the same way, simply moving your device from one place to another, it is possible to measure the angles with an accuracy of 1 degree.
Ability to measure the distance:
- using a virtual ruler
- I use the device case
Distance Measurement:
- along the line on the surface
- between parallel surfaces in space
Corner measurement:
- between lines on the surface
- between planes in space
After the measurement, it is possible to save the measurement by making a photo with a marker about the size and designation of the measured object.
The program is built on the principle of the inertial navigation system: determining the position of the device using an accelerometer and gyroscope. As in ballistic missiles :)
About
Measurement accuracy I duplicate what is written in the description on the App Store:
We conducted 100 continuous measurements and obtained the following results:
On iPhone 6 Plus:
• Connectant deviation - 0.49%
• Maximum error - 1.2%
• The number of measurements in which the error does not exceed 1% - 93
On iPhone 4:
• Conducting deviation - 1.02%
• Maximum error - 3.0%
• The number of measurements in which the error does not exceed 1% - 65, does not exceed 2% - 96
I want to add that the numbers are not written from the bald. Really measured and statistics were considered.The accuracy of measurements depends on the device, but, in any case, the error rarely when exceeds 3%. And you can always improve accuracy by making a series of measurements. In the case of measuring a series of measurements, the error is usually 1% or less.
The program cannot replace the roulette to the fullest, because Roulette has a fixed error (it is half the price of dividing the scale). However, the program may be useful for determining the approximate distance in the absence of a roulette, because Your device is always with you.
In some cases, when it is known in advance that the distance is more than any value, it can be argued that the program allows you to get absolutely accurate result with a high probability. For example, if when measuring furniture, where the dimensions are almost always multiple 10, you received a result of 61 cm, then most likely a real size is 60 cm.
Corners with a neat measurement The program determines with an error of no more than 1 degree, so the program may well replace the transport or a tilter.
The program supports 9 languages, including Russian.
