Instant calculations for TV size, viewing distance and viewing angle! TV Widget is a fun and informative app for learning about the relationship between screen size, viewing distance and viewing angle. You can use it to help inform your decision about what size TV to buy, or how to arrange the seating in your room. You can use TV Widget to do three things: 1. Calculate screen size. If you know how far you'll site from the screen, TV Widget can suggest a suitable TV size. 2. Calculate viewing distance. If you know the TV size, TV Widget can suggest the distance of your seating. 3. Assess the viewing experience. TV Widget calculates the viewing angle and provides fun gauges that help you assess how big the picture will feel compared to a cinema/theatre. It can help you work out if that new Ultra HD TV is really worthwhile given your seating arrangement and TV size constraints! TV Widget is designed to be fun and easy to use. It’s not a replacement for expert advice as it cannot take into account all your preferences and requirements, and it includes guidelines that are quite subjective in nature. However, it can be helpful in narrowing down your choices and understanding the trade-offs. The app is in active development. Please contact us with any issues, feedback or suggestions – our email address is tvwidgetapp@gmail.com.

Measure anything with CamToPlan! Horizontally and vertically! Length, distance, area of any surface… Measure everything with this virtual ruler and tape measure thanks to augmented reality. Measuring a length is now easier than with a laser meter or any other measure tool. You draw your measurement lines in 3D thanks to the camera directly on the video of your phone or tablet. You export your plans in PDF, PNG or DXF. CamToPlan is the AR measuring app that brings your measures from cam…to…plan ! For personal or professional use, always measure like a pro. Thanks to Virtual Reality (VR), you can measure floors, dimensions of walls, windows, doors or a whole home in a few seconds. No more tape measure or ruler needed! This app has infinite applications for everybody: - Personal use: the length measure app for the handyman who loves DIY ! - Real estate professionals (real estate agent, interior design decorator or designer, architect, topographer, energy adviser...): this app will help you make a floorplan of a house, apartment, a specific room of a flat. - Construction workers can use it to quickly measure jobs : concreter, tile layer, carpet fitter, painter, drywall guy, plasterer, builder, carpenter, electrician, plumber, slater... - For gardener, landscaper, swimming pool builders and maintenance, digger, earth-moving, navvy: this app also works outside - Cost estimation professionals: this length measure app can make pricing estimates, it will be a great assistant for quantity surveyor, price studies technician, economist… - Building industry: foreman, site manager or engineer can drop their tape measure and ruler to perform a quick measurement check How does this measuring app work? It relies on ARKit by Apple. Machine learning algorithms combine the device sensors data (accelerometer, gyroscope…) with odometry which analyses in real time the video of the camera and relies on visual details of images, in order to scan the environment and find the position and rotation angle of the device. Please note: - you can measure in metric (meters, centimeters) or imperial units (feet, inches) - the app measures distances horizontally (= on the ground) and vertically! - no need to remove the furniture from the room for measurements. The application determines the intersection between the floor and the target, even if it is hidden. - The application may have difficulty with some types of tiles. - The accuracy is not guaranteed. - you can move while performing measurements to get closer to your target point, for maximum precision, even if it is not visible and calculated by extrapolation.
