Height Rangefinder is an interactive tool from the "Geometry Lab" series that turns your smartphone into a laboratory for studying applied mathematics.
This application is designed to demonstrate how school formulas from geometry and trigonometry textbooks work in the real world. From solving problems on paper to real measurements in your yard!
Visual demonstration of mathematics:
Geometry in life: The application helps to understand the principles of constructing triangles and calculating heights using angles of inclination.
Educational aspect: Ideal for students and teachers as a visual aid for the topic "Solving right triangles".
Simplicity and clarity: You see how changing the angle of inclination of the smartphone instantly affects the mathematical result.
How does "math in the camera" work?
The application uses an accelerometer to determine the angle between your eye level and the top of the object. Knowing the distance and your height, it uses basic trigonometric functions to find the height. It's the same problem from the textbook, but now you are the main character!
Features of the application:
Fast and clear measurement algorithm.
Visual crosshair for precise aiming at the top.
No registration required and works offline.
Complete privacy: the application does not collect data, does not take photos or transmit images from the camera.
Use the Height Rangefinder for school projects, walks or just for self-development. See the beauty of mathematics around you!
