## What is MarkerScan?

This app enables you to accurately measure points in the real world by downloading and printing a PDF file available on our website (http://markerscanapp.markerscan.com/en/Home/MarkerSets).

Place the markers in such a way that they point towards 3D position you want to measure. Then follow the steps in the app (which includes taking pictures) to actually calculate the 3D points.

After the 3D model has been calculated, you can decide to order it (currently for free). It will then be send to your email in different formats, such as .ply, .dxf, .xyz and .xls. 

You can use these files to get the exact distance between points, use it as a base for 3D printing and so on. Measuring shapes using this app is much quicker when you want to measure complex shapes such as curved walls, window sills and kitchen countertops.

### 4/5 — Updates?

*2018-10-31*

Initial accuracy results are encouraging.  Waiting on my order of the Pro Marker set. Very impressed with how quickly points are calculated and also how quickly an ordered file is received.  Would love the ability to access a photo set obtained with our own photogrammetry cameras. A gallery view to manage and delete unwanted photos would be an improvement over swiping through a complete photo set. Nice job S&T Corp.
