measARe vs Plonk

This app uses augmented reality technology (AR) to measure different things in the real world with your smartphone’s camera. Simply target aim on the detected horizontal or vertical surface and start measuring! Using this app, users need not worry about searching for a measurement tape or carry it along when while shopping around for your home or office. This app can be used by anyone for any sort of measurement. measARe is designed to accurately measure the size of any floor or wall by measuring it on the mobile screen. With its simple user-friendly design measARe allows you to measure places just as conveniently and precisely as with a traditional ruler or tape measure. It measures a sufficiently accurate distance to the object, the height of the object or wall and much more using multiple points markers. The apps lets you built your own wall anywhere you wish to, and even place the TV of whatever size you're planning to buy to visualize it in the real-time space. Just carry your smartphone with you. It can be used as or even replace ruler and measuring tape in any situation where the traditional measuring method is not enough or difficult to apply.

Stop guessing. Plonk shows you exactly which TV size fits your room — at scale, on your wall, before you spend a dollar. Start from a common preset or adjust the diagonal from 20" to 120" and watch a clean TV outline scale to fill the screen, with width and height labeled in inches or centimeters. Aim your camera at a real wall and place a life-size AR outline to see how a 65" or 75" actually looks above the couch. Tell Plonk how far you sit and it tells you the recommended size range — relaxed for living-room viewing or cinematic for an immersive feel. Built for the moment before you buy.
