  Hello everyone.

   

  During the beta cycle, I discovered Measure was not on all my devices either, 
like my iPad Mini 2 and 6th generation iPod Touch. I therefore conclude that 
since Measure is an app using Augmented Reality, it is only available on 
devices starting with iPhone 6s and 5th generation iPad.

  Here is what you can accomplish with the measurement app with voiceover 
turned on. 

   

  Let’s say you wish to measure your dining room table. 

1.. Open the measure app. 
2.. Place your  phone back camera facing down over one end of your 
tablde. 
3.. Touch the middle of the screen  You should hear it say,  add a 
point” it will announce “point at center of screen.” double tap. 
4.. Move to the opposite end of the table. As you move it will announce 
distances

  What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For

  kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise

  hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both

fun

  with it, too.

  Apple's own Measure app isn't the first of its kind; other developers have

  previously harnessed the power of ARKit's earlier version, which was

  released in 2017 alongside iOS 11, to create similar apps (with varying

  degrees of success). The functionality of Measure isn't new, either -

  dramatically different from what you can achieve with a laser distance

You don't have to buy a separate device to accomplish that calculation; you
don't even have to buy a separate app to do it. Everything you need is built
right into something you already own - your phone or tablet. All you have to
do to get access to it is update your device to iOS 12.
According to Mashable, the first time you boot up Measure, it will ask you
to "point your phone all around the environment you're in" for calibration
purposes. After you've completed that task, you'll be able to start
measuring items in your surroundings. To do so, you just point your phone at
whatever you want to measure so the camera can see it, then tap the points
you want the app to measure between on your device's screen. The app is also
capable of recognizing some things on its; per Mashable, you can measure
these objects "by holding your iPhone up to, say, a monitor, TV, or box,"
which will cause the app to "overlay the object in yellow and allow you to
lock that point in." Writes Jake Krol, "From there, you can get the
measurements of that recognized object without doing the manual work of
designating a boundary."
  
The app isn't without its flaws, of course; it's mostly accurate, but not

perfectly accurate. When Krol measured his MacBook Air, for example - a
laptop which measures at 13.3 inches diagonally - the app calculated it at
13 inches even, which is, as Krol put it, "not bad, though not quite dead
on." CNBC echoed this assessment, calling it "[not] a perfect replacement
for a regular measuring tape, but . good if you need a quick estimate when
you're in a bind and don't have a real tape measure."
Plenty of folks have found some, uh. creative uses for Measure, too, of
course. Take, for example, all the people who have discovered you can
measure your pets with it:
Well played, internet. Well played, indeed.
To get Measure, first make sure your device is compatible with iOS 12 by
checking here; if it is, go ahead and update to iOS 12 and you should be
good to go. Have fun, kids!

  Here is what you can accomplish with the measurement app with voiceover 
turned on. 

   

  Let’s say you wish to measure your dining room table. 

1.. Open the measure app. 
2.. Place your  phone back camera facing down over one end of your tablde. 
3.. Touch the middle of the screen  You should hear it say,  add a point” 
it will announce “point at center of screen.” double tap. 
4.. Move to the opposite end of the table. As you move it will announce 
distances

  What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For

  By Lucia Petersan.

   

  With the release of iOS 12 on Monday, users of Apple mobile devices of all

  kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise

  hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both

  exactly what it sounds like, and a whole lot more. Through the magic of

  ARKit 2 - the latest version of Apple's augmented reality development kit -

  you can use your iPhone or iPad to take the measurements of just about

  anything in your environment. Although the idea of an AR tape measurer isn't

  nearly as exciting-sounding as, say, being able to catch a Pokemon in your

  living room, it's one of the more practical applications of AR technology -

  and as some folks have demonstrated on Twitter, you can still have some fun

  with it, too.

  Apple's own Measure app isn't the first of its kind; other developers have

  previously harnessed the power of ARKit's earlier version, which was

  released in 2017 alongside iOS 11, to create similar apps (with varying

  degrees of success). The functionality of Measure isn't new, either -

  although it works through different technology, the end result isn't

  dramatically different from what you can achieve with a laser distance

  measure. 

   

  What Measure does that these other options don't, however, is make this kind

  of tool accessible to anyone with a compatible iOS device. Want to calculate

  the length or area of something that's tough to get a tape measure against?

Hello everyone.

During the beta cycle, I discovered Measure was not on all my devices either, 
like my iPad Mini 2 and 6th generation iPod Touch. I therefore conclude that 
since Measure is an app using Augmented Reality, it is only available on 
devices starting with iPhone 6s and 5th generation iPad.

You don't have to buy a separate device to accomplish that calculation; you
don't even have to buy a separate app to do it. Everything you need is built
right into something you already own - your phone or tablet. All you have to
do to get access to it is update your device to iOS 12.
According to Mashable, the first time you boot up Measure, it will ask you
to "point your phone all around the environment you're in" for calibration
purposes. After you've completed that task, you'll be able to start
measuring items in your surroundings. To do so, you just point your phone at

If you open Compass, do you have the Level at the bottom as an option? I assume

What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For
By Lucia Petersan.

With the release of iOS 12 on Monday, users of Apple mobile devices of all
kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise
hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both
exactly what it sounds like, and a whole lot more. Through the magic of
ARKit 2 - the latest version of Apple's augmented reality development kit -
you can use your iPhone or iPad to take the measurements of just about
anything in your environment. Although the idea of an AR tape measurer isn't
nearly as exciting-sounding as, say, being able to catch a Pokemon in your
living room, it's one of the more practical applications of AR technology -
and as some folks have demonstrated on Twitter, you can still have some fun
with it, too.

Let’s say you wish to measure your dining room table. 

  1.. Open the measure app. 
  2.. Place your  phone back camera facing down over one end of your tablde. 
  3.. Touch the middle of the screen  You should hear it say,  add a point” it 
will announce “point at center of screen.” double tap. 
  4.. Move to the opposite end of the table. As you move it will announce 
distances

What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For

By Lucia Petersan.

 

With the release of iOS 12 on Monday, users of Apple mobile devices of all

kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise

hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both

exactly what it sounds like, and a whole lot more. Through the magic of

ARKit 2 - the latest version of Apple's augmented reality development kit -

you can use your iPhone or iPad to take the measurements of just about

anything in your environment. Although the idea of an AR tape measurer isn't

nearly as exciting-sounding as, say, being able to catch a Pokemon in your

living room, it's one of the more practical applications of AR technology -

and as some folks have demonstrated on Twitter, you can still have some fun

with it, too.

Apple's own Measure app isn't the first of its kind; other developers have

previously harnessed the power of ARKit's earlier version, which was

released in 2017 alongside iOS 11, to create similar apps (with varying

degrees of success). The functionality of Measure isn't new, either -

although it works through different technology, the end result isn't

dramatically different from what you can achieve with a laser distance

measure. 



What Measure does that these other options don't, however, is make this kind

of tool accessible to anyone with a compatible iOS device. Want to calculate

the length or area of something that's tough to get a tape measure against?

You don't have to buy a separate device to accomplish that calculation; you

don't even have to buy a separate app to do it. Everything you need is built

right into something you already own - your phone or tablet. All you have to

do to get access to it is update your device to iOS 12.

According to Mashable, the first time you boot up Measure, it will ask you

to "point your phone all around the environment you're in" for calibration

purposes. After you've completed that task, you'll be able to start

measuring items in your surroundings. To do so, you just point your phone at

whatever you want to measure so the camera can see it, then tap the points

you want the app to measure between on your device's screen. The app is also

capable of recognizing some things on its; per Mashable, you can measure

these objects "by holding your iPhone up to, say, a monitor, TV, or box,"

which will cause the app to "overlay the object in yellow and allow you to

lock that point in." Writes Jake Krol, "From there, you can get the

measurements of that recognized object without doing the manual work of

designating a boundary." 



The app isn't without its flaws, of course; it's mostly accurate, but not

perfectly accurate. When Krol measured his MacBook Air, for example - a

laptop which measures at 13.3 inches diagonally - the app calculated it at

13 inches even, which is, as Krol put it, "not bad, though not quite dead

measure your pets with it: 

Well played, internet. Well played, indeed.

To get Measure, first make sure your device is compatible with iOS 12 by

checking here; if it is, go ahead and update to iOS 12 and you should be

good to go. Have fun, kids!

No, the Measure app is by itself. It also now has the level, so Compass is now 
just a compass.

What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For
By Lucia Petersan.

With the release of iOS 12 on Monday, users of Apple mobile devices of all
kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise
hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both
exactly what it sounds like, and a whole lot more. Through the magic of
ARKit 2 - the latest version of Apple's augmented reality development kit -
you can use your iPhone or iPad to take the measurements of just about
anything in your environment. Although the idea of an AR tape measurer isn't
nearly as exciting-sounding as, say, being able to catch a Pokemon in your
living room, it's one of the more practical applications of AR technology -
and as some folks have demonstrated on Twitter, you can still have some fun
with it, too.
Apple's own Measure app isn't the first of its kind; other developers have
previously harnessed the power of ARKit's earlier version, which was
released in 2017 alongside iOS 11, to create similar apps (with varying
degrees of success). The functionality of Measure isn't new, either -
although it works through different technology, the end result isn't
dramatically different from what you can achieve with a laser distance
measure. 
 
What Measure does that these other options don't, however, is make this kind
of tool accessible to anyone with a compatible iOS device. Want to calculate
the length or area of something that's tough to get a tape measure against?
You don't have to buy a separate device to accomplish that calculation; you
don't even have to buy a separate app to do it. Everything you need is built
right into something you already own - your phone or tablet. All you have to
do to get access to it is update your device to iOS 12.
According to Mashable, the first time you boot up Measure, it will ask you
to "point your phone all around the environment you're in" for calibration
purposes. After you've completed that task, you'll be able to start
measuring items in your surroundings. To do so, you just point your phone at
whatever you want to measure so the camera can see it, then tap the points
you want the app to measure between on your device's screen. The app is also
capable of recognizing some things on its; per Mashable, you can measure
these objects "by holding your iPhone up to, say, a monitor, TV, or box,"
which will cause the app to "overlay the object in yellow and allow you to
lock that point in." Writes Jake Krol, "From there, you can get the
measurements of that recognized object without doing the manual work of
designating a boundary." 
 
The app isn't without its flaws, of course; it's mostly accurate, but not
perfectly accurate. When Krol measured his MacBook Air, for example - a
laptop which measures at 13.3 inches diagonally - the app calculated it at
13 inches even, which is, as Krol put it, "not bad, though not quite dead
on." CNBC echoed this assessment, calling it "[not] a perfect replacement
for a regular measuring tape, but . good if you need a quick estimate when
you're in a bind and don't have a real tape measure."
Plenty of folks have found some, uh. creative uses for Measure, too, of
course. Take, for example, all the people who have discovered you can
measure your pets with it: 
Well played, internet. Well played, indeed.
To get Measure, first make sure your device is compatible with iOS 12 by
checking here; if it is, go ahead and update to iOS 12 and you should be
good to go. Have fun, kids!

What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For

2018-09-18 Thread M. Taylor
What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For
By Lucia Petersan.

With the release of iOS 12 on Monday, users of Apple mobile devices of all
kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise
hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both
exactly what it sounds like, and a whole lot more. Through the magic of
ARKit 2 - the latest version of Apple's augmented reality development kit -
you can use your iPhone or iPad to take the measurements of just about
anything in your environment. Although the idea of an AR tape measurer isn't
nearly as exciting-sounding as, say, being able to catch a Pokemon in your
living room, it's one of the more practical applications of AR technology -
and as some folks have demonstrated on Twitter, you can still have some fun
with it, too.
Apple's own Measure app isn't the first of its kind; other developers have
previously harnessed the power of ARKit's earlier version, which was
released in 2017 alongside iOS 11, to create similar apps (with varying
degrees of success). The functionality of Measure isn't new, either -
although it works through different technology, the end result isn't
dramatically different from what you can achieve with a laser distance
measure. 
 
What Measure does that these other options don't, however, is make this kind
of tool accessible to anyone with a compatible iOS device. Want to calculate
the length or area of something that's tough to get a tape measure against?
You don't have to buy a separate device to accomplish that calculation; you
don't even have to buy a separate app to do it. Everything you need is built
right into something you already own - your phone or tablet. All you have to
do to get access to it is update your device to iOS 12.
According to Mashable, the first time you boot up Measure, it will ask you
to "point your phone all around the environment you're in" for calibration
purposes. After you've completed that task, you'll be able to start
measuring items in your surroundings. To do so, you just point your phone at
whatever you want to measure so the camera can see it, then tap the points
you want the app to measure between on your device's screen. The app is also

which will cause the app to "overlay the object in yellow and allow you to
