# Augmented Reality Tape Measures AR Measure Turns a Phone into a Measuring Tape By Ell Smith | Published 2017-06-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-measure References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ar-measure) & [armeasure](http://armeasure.com/?ref=producthunt) AR Measure has arrived to remind consumers that there's no problem augmented reality can't solve. Most people can't locate, or don't own [measuring devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comandi) due to the lack of frequency they're required, resulting in desperate improvised guesswork. AR Measure is a new app with precise accuracy that measures objects for the user with augmented reality and a smartphone camera. Using augmented reality, the app measures 3D points in space -- simply pointing the camera at a desired object will provide users with digital, but accurate measurements. This app would prove highly useful for [home improvements or DIY activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-scanner), as it turns one's phone into a useful resource, allowing users to measure chairs, tables or other furniture items. Augmented reality is at the forefront of technology design, resulting in a surge of apps and services that find solutions for even the most minuscule of problems. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Augmented Reality Measuring:** AR is changing the way we measure objects by using smartphones as measuring devices and providing accurate measurements. - **DIY AR Apps:** AR is providing a new set of tools for home improvement and DIY enthusiasts, which has the potential to revolutionize the way we work on our homes. - **AR Tape Measure Innovations:** AR tape measure apps are just the beginning of a wave of new AR measuring tools that could be developed to bring enormous value and efficiency to many industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** AR measuring tools could revolutionize the way that construction is accomplished by providing more efficient measurements and reducing waste. - **Interior Design:** AR measuring tools can help interior designers take measurements accurately and quickly before even starting on a project. - **E-commerce:** AR measuring tools could provide a way for e-commerce companies to offer customers a way to accurately measure items for purchase without leaving their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR Measurement Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/measure-tools.md) - [AR Display Measuring Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-measuring-instrument.md) - [Room-Scanning Home Renovation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/measure-your-space.md) - [Digital Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidar.md) - [Connected Professional Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acegmet-dtx-10.md) - [Six-in-One Laser Measure Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-measure.md) - [Intelligent Laser Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoto-laser-tape-measure.md) - [AR 3D Model Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-app-for-iphone.md) - [Digital Laser Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-laser.md)
