## What it is
An iOS augmented reality app that measures distances using Apple's ARKit and SceneKit. It uses plane detection and feature point hit-testing with statistical filtering to determine start and end points for measurements.

## Use cases
- measure distance with iphone camera
- ar ruler app for ios
- measure length of objects using arkit
- augmented reality measuring tool
- measure vertical surfaces with arkit
- learn arkit hit testing and feature points

## When to choose
- you need a simple AR measuring tool on an ARKit-compatible iPhone (6s+, iOS 11+)
- you want a Swift/SceneKit reference implementation of AR distance measurement and feature-point hit testing

## When to avoid
- you need measurement on Android or non-ARKit platforms
- you require high-precision professional measurement
- you need a library to embed in your own app rather than a standalone demo app
