Devices and Methods for Measuring Using Augmented Reality

Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes displaying, on the touch-sensitive display of an electronic device with one or more cameras, a first user interface of an application. The first user interface includes a representation of a field of view of at least one of the one or more cameras, which is updated over time based on changes to current visual data detected by at least one of the one or more cameras. The field of view includes a physical object in a three-dimensional space. A representation of a measurement of the physical object is superimposed on an image of the physical object in the representation of the field of view. While displaying the first user interface, a first touch input in the first user interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display is detected. In response to detecting the first touch input, a process for sharing information about the measurement is initiated.
