  • Patent number: 10612908
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a field of view of a camera with a view of a three-dimensional space and updates the field of view based on changes detected by the camera. While a measurement-point-creation indicator is over a determined anchor point in the field of view, the device changes a visual appearance of the indicator to indicate that a measurement point will be added at the anchor point if a touch input meets first criteria. In response to a touch input that meets the first criteria, a measurement point is added at the anchor point if the indicator is over the anchor point, and at a location away from the anchor point if not. In response to movement of the camera changing the field of view, if the field of view does not include a feature to which measurement points can be added, the measurement-point-creation indicator ceases to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20190339058
    Abstract: An electronic device: displays a field of view of a camera at a first magnification and updates the displayed field of view over time based on changes detected by the camera. The field of view includes a view of a three-dimensional space. In response to a first touch input, the device adds a measurement point at a first location in the displayed field of view that corresponds to a first location in the three-dimensional space. As the camera moves, the device displays the measurement point at a location in the displayed field of view that corresponds to the first location in the three-dimensional space. In response to a second touch input corresponding to a current location of the measurement point in the displayed field of view, the device enlarges display of the displayed field of view around the measurement point from the first magnification to a second, greater magnification.
