About
Sonar Ruler+ measures distance using sound wave echoes — like submarine sonar. The speaker emits a chirp pulse and the microphone detects the reflection to calculate distance.
Watch the real-time waveform visualization showing the emitted pulse and returning echo, making this both a measurement tool and a physics education experience.
Key Features:
- Sound wave echo distance measurement
- Real-time waveform visualization
- Chirp signal + cross-correlation for precision
- Auto noise gate for background filtering
- Multi-measurement averaging (5 readings)
- Temperature compensation for sound speed
- Unit conversion (m/ft/in)
- Measurement history
No LiDAR or Pro model needed — works with any iPhone using pure acoustics.
