  • Publication number: 20250102291
    Abstract: A method includes displaying, on the touch-sensitive display of an electronic device with one or more cameras, a first user interface of an application. The first user interface includes a representation of a field of view of at least one of the one or more cameras, which is updated over time based on changes to current visual data detected by at least one of the one or more cameras. The field of view includes a physical object in a three-dimensional space. A representation of a measurement of the physical object is superimposed on an image of the physical object in the representation of the field of view. While displaying the first user interface, a first touch input in the first user interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display is detected. In response to detecting the first touch input, a process for sharing information about the measurement is initiated.

  • Patent number: 12174006
    Abstract: A computer system displays an annotation placement user interface that includes a representation of a field of view of one or more cameras that is updated over time based on changes in the field of view, a placement user interface element indicating a virtual annotation placement location. If the placement user interface element is over a representation of a physical feature in the physical environment that can be measured, the appearance of the placement user interface element changes in accordance with one or more aspects of the representation of the physical feature, and, in response to an input to perform one or more measurements of the physical feature: if the physical feature is a first type of feature, measurements of a first measurement type are made; and, if a second, different type of physical feature, measurements of a second, different measurement type are made.
