La Augmented reality is increasingly integrated into our day to day, this is how Apple decided to launch Measurements, an application that, as its good name suggests, would allow us to take measurements of what we want only using the camera of our iPhone, in fact, this is a function highly demanded by users.
However, it was a matter of time, as happens with almost all native Apple applications, that an extremely interesting third-party developer alternative emerged. In this case MeasureKit - AR arrives to face Apple Measurements with more functions and more features taking advantage of the Augmented Reality of iOS.
An example is that Measurekit - AR allows us, for example, to use a virtual ruler as a reference. The problem that I have found is that it is completely in English, something that I do not quite understand in an application that is promoted within the iOS App Store and that is not the only one of this developer precisely. It has functions such as the typical classic meter, a magnetometer, angle calculator, the specific height of a person, of course it has a level with which to make life easier and one of the most relevant, FaceMesh that allows us to scan and parameterize our facial features.
As always, this application is available for free on the iOS App Store but it has an integrated payment system, which allows us to unlock, for example, the ability to measure "cubes." However, I have no choice but to complain due to the lack of translation of the application, despite the fact that it even includes a function to turn on the Flash LED to take better captures or measurements. In short, we are facing an application that requires iOS 11.0 or a higher version and that confronts Apple Measures quite correctly.
Let's see ... I've had this app long before Apple's was integrated ... and many other similar ones. What is it that it was a matter of time before a third-party app came out that mimicked Apple's?
