App that lets you know distances by number of times the string, measured out to the distance you want, wraps around your model of the iPhone. Customize for Android by letting you enter your own values for device circumference :) kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Indiscernible from Magic Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:19:10 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4386&msg_id=4387 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4386&msg_id=4386 Idea: 1. Turn your iOS/Android device into a measuring tape that's not a pain the ass to use. How: 2. Build a package of three battery powered devices that come packaged together and pair with a custom app on the iOS/Android device. Devices pair with the phone via BlueTooth, and emit noise outside the range of human hearing, one freq for each device. Devices come with instruction to place them at known (user adjustable) distances from each other in an equilateral triangle. (Use 4 devices and form a tetrahedron?) iOS/Android device listens to emitted noise to calculate its position relative to the devices. The App calculates and remembers the positions of the phone, so you can ask it to give you x,y,z and hypotenuse distance between whatever points you ask of it. Result: 3.
