My socks are blown off.

If you could add a feature to measure distance when paused, it’d make renovation planning so much less stressful - I’d just walk around the place while recording a video and could measure anything post factum. No more ‘will it fit?’

(Guess who’s doing a renovation now)

I’ve used this: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/3d-scanner-app/id1419913995?l=...

Some places like IKEA will let you get a model of the furniture that you can drop into something like Blender to see how it fits.

When scanning my wife’s childhood home we found enough space for a large hidden room in the house. We couldn’t figure out how to access it without looking too suspicious (we didn’t want anyone to know we knew).

You can do it already if you 3D-scan your place with this for example https://poly.cam/

That sounds like a cool idea! Maybe I can make this website to support phone AR, then you can place the video on top of some ruler or furniture for your measuring purposes? It's nice to hear about potential use cases and good luck with your renovation!
