Metior per Occulum Measuring By Eye

What is Metoc

Metoc is an iPhone (or iPad) app that enables you to measure things just by using your cellphone camera. It can be pretty accurate (down to fractions of an inch if conditions are right).
This video is a demo of Metoc in action, and also acts as an instruction manual.
This version can measure the distance along the floor between any two points, and also the vertical distance from the floor to a point directly above it. For example you could measure the width of a table (by measuring the distance between the legs) and the height of the table (by measuring the distance from a table foot to the top of the table).
You need a special pattern, called a fiducial pattern (which you should print out on a sheet of paper), on the floor of each picture for Metoc to calculate the scale of your objects that you are measuring. See further details under Instructions
You can measure in inches or in cm.

If you have any suggestions as to how we could improve the app, or have any problems please email us at metoc.xyz@gmail.com.
