Alternatively, if the object's height is know, then the distance to it may be calculated.The image with overlaid measurements can be saved as a photograph.Features- use cross-hairs overlaid on the iPhone's camera display to accurately measure the elevation angle to the object- calculate either the height of, or the distance to an object- a button to hold the angle to allow easy adjustment of other parameters- includes optional height offset to add a fixed value to the height calculation- ability to safe the image with measurement details as a photograph- can be used as an educational tool to teach trigonometry- metric and imperial measure
