One of the products I have been using a lot is the ARRIM device. It is an Augmented Reality measuring device. The easy answer to why is I am trying to clean my office. Augmented Reality, as you can see in the picture shared with this review, allows you to look through the camera of the phone. Then, you can use their adapter to create measurements of space. I didn’t measure my office yet but did measure my basement sitting room. I have speakers (record player, I know really old tech) and a comfortable couch to relax there. I measured because I wanted to see if I could move the heavy table from the other room, into space.
With ARRIM, I was able to measure (and find out I couldn’t move the heavy table). The software is straight forward. They have a USB Micro, USB-C and a Lightning connector. That means you can attach the device to any phone. It flips the screen horizontally and allows you to pick the area or part of the room you wish to measure. It uses the laser in their attachment, to measure. So you are getting a true laser measurement of space. It, the AR measuring tool, uses that laser, so it worked indoors or outdoors. Although I will caution you of two things. In really bright sunlight it takes a little bit of adjustment for the human, the laser works either way.
Simple process – attach the ARRIM system. Launch the software. Point the camera of your device towards what you want to measure. Line, a square or whatever, They also have pre-built templates in the software!
Oh yeah and if you measure something with Dylan around, he would pounce on the laser!
• Review question 1:
• Would you carry this in your bag? Yes, I do!
• Review question 2
• Is the software easy to use? Since it just a laser and your phone’s camera it is point and shoots!
Overall I give ARRIM a 10 out of 10

To my mind, ARRIM is very useful in our everyday life!!! Thank you so much for sharing this info, we learn about such necessary devices by reading your gorgeous articles!!!
i have been using it a lot so far, it is very cool!!!
It’s a very helpful device to have. I am still measuring manually the space where I intend to place something I want to buy.
I think in the future when you want to move to a new apartment or other wise move, this will be incredibly powerful!
The world of augmented reality seems so real, is it possible that you could get so caught up with it and break away from reality itself? Just a hypothetical question.
By definition Augmented Reality is simply reality, augmented. The issue of leaving reality and going virtual would possibly occur in the VR or Virtual Reality world.
Ready Player One is a movie dealing with the break from the real world.
Okay, I got confused with virtual reality sorry.
you are not the only one and you do not need to apologize.
Reality Measuring device? I would point it at the white house and it would read “totally unreal- roll over, you’re having a nightmare…”
ROFL,
Geez I am innocently up answer comments and whammo and Alex attack 🙂
I am still laughing.
I will come at you from the direction you least expect, and then strike straight at your funnybone
you do just that. Without warning, I am sitting in my office laughing. Or the other Alex impact, I have to turn all the lights on!!!!
an opponent with only one special attack is unworthy of you
you certainly have many more than one way of attack.
Kudos!
Before I played go, I played chess. Even when I must defend or retreat, that would still be part of an attack
I was a really good ping-pong player (in the US) when I was younger. I actually won the tournament in our school in 5th grade. I went to Thailand and learned what a really good ping-pong player was. I couldn’t beat a first grade student in Thailand.
The offense is the best defense.
asian ping pong is a different sport. they’ve eliminated the backswing
I stayed good at defense, but the speed of the offense got me every time. I got better over the course of the year but it was a lot of losing for most of the year.
but when you came home, you were a force to be reckoned with
But nobody in the US plays ping pong. sad reality!
my friends and I used to play it in the summer
Gosh, Doc. You often show something I don’t know. In my previous profession, I definitely needed this device.
I suspect these devices will soon be all over the world of interior design, home repair, Realty and so on!
Yes, I’m sure they will really need it.
I know that in the US the reduced fee reality company (RedFin) does 3d mapping of the person home before listing it for sale today.
Thank you for the information. An amazing device but I don’t need to measure things. With this, you got Amazon to offer of all things a Victrola Vintage 3 Speed Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable and I got rid of all of my records ages ago.
The Machine Learning system that matches phrases and words for the Amazon ads isn’t perfect yet.
Bluetooth record player is a win-win!!
(I still have records and one record player)!
This is a very useful and practical device. Every household should have it. I would have it.
My wife said I was crazy until i measured the kitchen and actually put stuff int he garage because we don’t have enough counter space (she said FINALLY and decided she liked the device)!
I understand my wife. Women are more confused and we have to try everything.
my wife is willing to embrace tried and true technology. In her job she can’t have things that get in her way.
Yes I would try this one out. And have gotten to the store many times without my list of numbers!
We started using the last measurement tools, and for the first time we were at HQ and the guy said how big is the shelf – we said it x by x by x
and showed him the shelf with the measurements!
Some time too much information confuse a person.
I would hope that wouldn’t be the case, but I do understand the point. I was trying to explain this too simply i think.
However your post are really good and give clear understanding
You are always welcome to disagree! I do not mind polite discourse starting off with Doc, you are wrong!
Although my system is completely unknown, I read the post with interest, dear Doc … I measure everything with the meter
Perhaps if I said it was a great way to measure tires on a car. With the AR system you can measure the exact depth of the tread!
Oh very interesting … thanks for the explanation
Sure, trying to help! I suspect you will see this device in a number of industries, but as your industry is focused more on taking care of yourself, you probably won’t run into these!
About our industry is very well developed, dear friend … we are part of the EU and I do not think we are far behind or nothing for America
That is the power of the EU. it brings more to more!
Ah these technologies. I do not understand them sometimes.?????
Sorry about that, I was trying to keep this one simple.
sorry, what I meant to say was, I meant to explain this simply. I did not do well sorry.
