## What is Tape measure for pétanque?

The application determines the order of the boules during your pétanque games with a simple capture.

Thanks to its computer vision algorithms, the jack and the balls are automatically detected. Measuring the distances has never been so fast!  In the rare cases when the automatic recognition does not work, you can also measure the distance manually.

How it works:
1. Position your phone flat (with the help of the accelerometer) and aim at the jack with the target
2. Trigger the shot
3. The order of the balls is displayed. In case the jack or boules have not been recognised, you can select them manually.
