Cubit Should Be in Every Designer?s IRL Toolbox
A laser guided measurement tool offering anyone requiring precision measurements a way to preview projects in real time using AR.
There’s nothing like living in an old house to emphasize the importance of measuring before starting on any project involving walls or floors. Even in modern-built spaces, dimensional accuracy can prove more of an ideal than a reality. Thus abiding by the axiom, “measure twice cut/drill once” is never a bad idea. Cubit is a laser guided, augmented reality measurement tool that seems like an even better idea, a handheld device outfitted to simplify spatial measurements and calculations with precision without the need to manage an unwieldy length of tape.

Cubit precisely measures the dimensional data of nearly any room and even object using a pair of lasers in partnership with a rolling sensor. Data collected is tallied and presented graphically via Bluetooth to a connected app, then utilizing augmented reality to present measurements in real time and in real spaces using a mobile device camera. Cubit’s developer Plott likens the technology to GPS, permitting precise positioning of objects onto walls or floors. In the sample video below, Cubit is shown measuring a collection of frames/artwork to display onto the wall in a gallery grouping, with all accurately aligned across through the center:
Cubit’s wheel measuring system is rated for an accuracy of up to .02%, with the lasers accurate...
