About

Pétanque Scan

Read full description

No more arguments: Pétanque Scan measures the gap between each boule and the jack, and tells who has the point. HOW IT WORKS • Aim at the jack once, then walk round the game: it places itself and the boules show up. • Hold the phone above the jack, then above each boule: the measure locks by itself. • The ranking appears, seen from above, with the edge-to-edge gap of each boule. ACCURATE Augmented reality and AI find the boules and the jack. A quick scan gives the gap within a few millimetres; take the time to walk around the game and it gets down to the millimetre. Each boule's size is measured. ANYWHERE No augmented reality on your phone? Photo mode measures from a single photo taken from above. FREE 10 free scans a day. Premium for life, no subscription: unlimited scans and no ads. In English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
