Want to measure anything your iPhone or iPad can take a picture of? Being a Realtor, we never know what a client may ask us. How about impressing them with RulerPhone...You're on a showing and a client says, “I don’t know if my six foot couch will fit here,” how about if you just whip out your iPhone, pull up RulerPhone and a credit card and take a picture of the space. With a credit card in the shot, RulerPhone will tell you the measurements based on the credit card.How cool is that?RulerPhone turns your iPhone and its camera into a measuring tape. All you need is an item that you probably carry around with you already: a gift card, driver's license, etc or anything with the exact dimensions of a credit card.
- Picture
Place your credit-card sized card right next to or in front of the object you would like to measure. Take a picture of the object, trying to keep the credit card centered in the frame. Make sure your card and object are facing directly at the camera. Note that you can either take a picture directly in RulerPhone or access your photo library to measure saved photos.
- Position
You need to align the card in your photo with the blue card placeholder that RulerPhone displays on the screen. To do this you will need to zoom and drag your photo, and you can also rotate the blue card placeholder to help. It is important that you zoom the image until the card in your picture is the same size as RulerPhone's blue card placeholder, since this is the reference that RulerPhone uses to measure objects in the frame.
- Measure
Once the cards are aligned click "Lock Card" or "Measure" to begin accurately measuring the object in your photo. Drag your finger across the screen to measure distances, and you will see a measuring tape appear across the screen. Drag the ends of the measuring tape to fine-tune your distance, and zoom the picture in and out by pinching or pulling to help you get a better view.
