How to Use the Google Measure App
Once you’ve installed the Google Measure app on your phone, it’s easy to use. The first time will be a little different, because there are options you can set up (such as how you want Display Units displayed — Imperial or Metric). After that, can jump straight into measuring things when you open the app.
How Google Measure Uses AR to Work
The Google Measure app uses ARcore to translate real-world content virtually onto your phone. At a basic level, the AR functionality in Android is tracking the position of your mobile device as it moves, then builds its own version of the real world. From there, it can use the digital recreation to insert virtual images, items, and more from the app that’s using it.
