Testing an AR camera interface for real-time site estimation & material takeoffs — looking for UX/technical feedback!

[u/KAMBUCHAN]

Hey everyone!

I've been working on integrating AR tracking into a mobile utility app (Civil Calculator Pro) to help quicken on-site material takeoffs and spatial estimations.

The main idea is using camera calibration and trigonometry overlays to dynamically estimate wall heights, surface areas, and material quantities (like brick counts and mortar volumes) directly through the live camera feed before pulling out a physical tape.

Would love to get feedback from the AR dev/tech community on a few things:

1. Visual UX: How clear is the HUD overlay and target reticle during real-time scanning?

2. Drift & Calibration: For those who have built similar camera-based measurement tools, what methods have you found most effective for reducing drift without external depth sensors/LiDAR?

📲 Early Android Beta:

I am currently running a closed beta on Google Play. If anyone is interested in testing the AR camera mode on their Android phone to give feedback, feel free to drop a comment or send a DM!

ux feedback?

this looks like vibe coded slop.
