Smart Distance (v1.5) manual

Hello users. I'm Android Boy.

Smart Distance is a range-finder using camera perspective.  There are 20,000+ Android devices in the world, with different camera lenses and performance. So it is not easy to measure the target's distance with camera view. I calibrated the app on 700+ major devices for 3 years.


※ Introduction video



※ How to use
  1) To measure the distance from a target, enter its height (width).
  2) Adjust the target to green lines by touching screen.
     By the way, do you know target's approximate height (width)?


※ Target's height or width???
For accurate measurement, it is important to know the height (width) of a target exactly.
Don't worry. We can guess the height (width) of objects around us.

- Height
  man : 1.7m (5.6ft), golf flag : 2.1m (7ft), door : 2.0m (6.5-7.0ft)
- Width
  car : ~4.5m (Mini : 3.8m, sedan : 4.5m, SUV : 5.0m), bus : 10m (33ft)

We also can find target's specifications. For example, The Statue of Liberty = 93m (305ft), The Boeing 777 = 74m (243ft)


※ Golf-rangefinder ???
This app can be a good tool for golf players because you know the height of golf flags.


※ Menu & Settings
①Distance by height / ②Distance by width


※ How to calibrate it
Is the distance inaccurate? You can calibrate it with [Height(Width) Calibration] at the settings. When height calibration is 36, it means that your camera view has 36 degrees range vertically.


※ Pro version additional features:
 1) No ads
 2) Speed gun is integrated
Get it on Google Play
