RoomRuler! is an app with a nifty concept that could come in handy when decorating a room. Basically, the app is designed to let users take photos and then it applies a built-in algorithm to calculate the approximate dimensions of a room. You can measure length and height as well as distances between two points. There is an admitted margin of error, in most cases supposedly 2-4%, but it depends largely on how you calibrate and set up the app initially.
The information required for RoomRuler! to work accurately is basically the height of the user and the distance between the user and their phone when holding it out straight in front at mouth level. There is a calibration dance as well, involving placing your device on flat and vertical surfaces sideways, backwards and upside down, but it only takes a few minutes. As for actual accuracy, it can work, but it doesn’t always.
