Measures Distances Using Sound with Sonar Ruler For iPhone
Now this is a news that tickles my soft spots. An experimental app that is using echoes to measure distance. How cool is this?
It uses the same principles that dolphins use to find food. It sends a short pulse from the speaker and measures how long that pulse takes to bounce off of something and return to the phone. It then estimates how far away you are.
Features:
- Sonic distance measurement up to 60 feet
- Sets Units to feet, inches, or meters
- Custom saved settings measuring in different environments
You can buy it from the appstore for $0.99.
