Business value
Optimize inspections and audits by defining specific things that should be measured, such as heights, widths, distances, areas, and volumes.
Feature details
Makers can now define a specific set of things they want measured and run business logic on top of those measurements.
Some example scenarios include:
- Ensuring a building is up to code by requiring the measurement of room signs for accessible height, doorways for wheelchair access, and other room properties to guarantee proper installation
- Calculating cost estimates by defining a set of measurements, such as the perimeter of a lawn for fence pricing or the area of a floor for tile costs
- Auditing contracts with customers by measuring the physical aspects of the agreement, such as the amount of shelf space given to your products
These measurements use the power of mixed reality to leverage the existing sensors on most modern phones and tablets to bring understanding of the physical space in the context of business workflows.
