An iPhone app estimates an object's height, width, and depth from a single photograph, without requiring LiDAR.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The measurement model depends on contextual scale rather than LiDAR: users are advised to include a door, person, chair, bottle, or another familiar reference in the frame. Results are described as including height, width, depth, a confidence percentage, and a note about the reference used. The page specifically treats depth as less reliable and warns against using estimates for cabinetry, plumbing, tiling, or other work where a small error matters.
