Best AR Apps to Measure Dimensions of Objects, Boxes & relevant Furniture Space + Overlay on Pictures – To plan organize & store as per recorded measurements on pictures.

iPhone 7 iOS 12.4 for AR data gathering

Windows PC & Laptop – for post organization analysis

So all my stuff got packed and scattered by family in random ways during a major reconstruction at my parents Condo.

Instead of physically moving all stuff back & forth multiple times/ integrations, I’d like to create a Digital Photo records/ collection with overlay measurements showing.

That way I can plug all the collected pics from iPhone into my PC and Digitally/ Virtually plan some STORE & FIT assessments for different categories of stuff at different places, without physically doing it too many times.

Basically digital measured Pic + Dimensions for Candidate Items >> for Candidate Store areas in furniture/ room.

A digital pre-de clutter before the physical declutter.

I know I’ll still have to do some physical rounds but this will help minimize the chaos & scatter brain mental gymnastics that I’ll have to undergo now.

I know there’s lots of Free Apps on AppStore that do some part of this. But that would mean playing with / trying 50/100 apps & going nuts.

Would like to have some experienced by people here, that can help with the above.

Hey everyone!

I’m very excited to announce the beta version of Holo-SDK for Desktop AR technology.

What is Desktop AR?

Desktop AR is a technique that enables laptop and desktop computers to produce AR effect without needing a phone or a headset. It creates the illusion of 3D objects floating in front of a screen by rendering red-blue 3D images according to a user’s viewing position. User can download the play Desktop AR apps by using their computer, webcam, and anaglyph glasses. You can download sample Desktop AR apps here: https://www.holo-sdk.com/sample-apps

​

Quick overview of Desktop AR applications

What’s cool about it?

• You get the holographic experience and seeing things floating in front of the screen. Here is a YouTube demo of what it felt like when playing a Desktop AR (https://youtu.be/cuvJxsB285k). Yes, the color will be a bit purple-ish because of the red-blue glasses. If that is what bothers you, you can also use active/passive 3D display to overcome this issue.
• Users do not need to have AR glasses or headset, which tends to be pricy. Desktop AR utilizes hardware that everyone already has and red-blue glasses that are available online for a low price. This also means that more potential users for your Desktop AR applications.
• More immersive than mobile AR. Mobile AR’s experience is limited by small display size and lack of stereoscopic. Unlike Desktop AR and AR glasses, Mobile AR enhances the realism of a video that a user sees on a device, rather than enhancing the viewing experience of the user directly.

How to make your own Desktop AR app?

You can make Desktop AR apps by using Holo-SDK. Holo-SDK is a unity-plugin. You can download and start developing going to (https://www.holo-sdk.com/get-started). We do have a free developer license there, so you can play with the tech without cost. We also have documents (https://docs.holo-sdk.com/docs/holo-sdk-manual/overview/), so that you can use the SDK easier.

What’s next?

Right now, the Holo-SDK is only for Unity and only compatible with Window OS. In the future, we will support other engines and OS as well.

I am looking forward to your suggestions, comments, and feedback. They are highly valued and appreciated.

Thank you.

Kindest regards,
