Auto Distance

Auto Distance is a practical measuring tool designed to provide quick estimates of the distance to objects and their heights, leveraging the camera and hardware sensor of your Android device. Ideal for various activities, whether you're indoors or outside, the app enables you to gauge the distance to buildings, the height of trees, or even the space between baseball mounds.

At its core, Auto Distance utilizes your device's camera in live view to target an object's base and employs the camera lens height and its tilt angle to calculate the distance. For continuous measuring, such as assessing the height of an object, you simply lock the initial measurement and redirect the camera toward the top of the target. Inputting the lens height—how high your camera is in relation to the object’s base—is key to this function.

The application comes with several useful features to enhance its utility. These include camera auto-focus, a flashlight feature for low light conditions, and a keep-screen-awake setting to prevent the device from sleeping during use. Additionally, users can customize the interface for text size and point selection, and select from various units of measurement such as millimeters, meters, and feet.

It's important to note that the accuracy of distance estimations depends on the device's sensor, with an average accuracy range around ±7.0%. Should the need for greater precision arise, exploring alternative applications might be advisable.

This innovative solution is freely available and aims to assist users in rapid distance estimations. If the tool proves helpful and efficient, sharing experiences can help encourage further enhancements. For any issues or inquiries, the game includes a user guide and a method to contact support.
