Use Your Phone to Measure Height, Volume, and More

HUAWEI AR Measure enables you to measure height, volume, and more without needing a measuring tape.

Before taking measurements, ensure that your surroundings are well lit and clear of obstacles and reflective objects.

Measure Height

In the Tools folder on your home screen, touch HUAWEI AR Measure and select Height or go to People > (depending on your device model) to measure height automatically or manually.

If the icon cannot be found in the viewfinder, it means that your phone does not support automatic height measurements.

Manually measure height

  1. If your phone supports automatic measurements, touch to disable auto mode first. Frame the subject's feet in the viewfinder and slowly move your phone to locate the plane.

  2. When the plane is identified, move your phone to point at the subject's feet and touch to add a starting point.

  3. Slowly move your phone upward until the camera points at the subject's face. When the subject's face is identified, your phone will automatically display the subject's height.

  4. Drag the end point to fine-tune the measurement result.

Touch to take a photo of the subject and the measurement result.

To manually measure the height of two or three people at the same time, get them to stand side by side, then mark the feet of one subject as the starting point. Lift your phone until your subjects' faces have been identified, at which point their individual heights will be displayed.

Automatically measure height

  1. On a phone that supports automatic height measurements, touch and make sure that auto mode is enabled. Frame the subject's feet in the viewfinder and slowly move your phone to locate the plane.

  2. When the plane is identified, follow the onscreen instructions and slowly move your phone upward until the camera points at the subject's face. When the subject's face is identified, your phone will automatically display the subject's height.
