Google Measures App, Exclusive To Tango, Now Available For ARCore Devices.

Today I am back with my new topic which is based on Google Measures App. 


Let's Start!

About Tango

Tango (formerly named Project Tango, while in testing) was an Augmented Reality Computing Platform, developed and authored by Advanced Technology And Project (ATAP), a Skunkworks division of Google. It uses computer vision to enable mobile devices, such as smartphone and Tablet, to detect their position relative to the world around them without using GPS or other external signals. This allows application developers to create user experiences that include Indoor Navigation, 3D, Mapping, Physical space measurements, environmental recognition, augmented reality, and windows into a virtual world. 

The first product to emerge from ATAP, Tango was developed by a team led by computer scientist Johnny Lee, a core contributor to Microsoft Kinect. In an interview in June 2015, Lee said, "We're developing Hardware and Software technologies to help everything and everyone understand precisely where they are anywhere.  

Google Measures App

Google measures, the app that was initially a part of the devices supporting Tango, has now reached devices supporting ARCore. The app is designed to let users use augmented reality (AR) technology to measure objects in the real world. It was launched in 2016, as one of the key Google apps supporting Tango hardware. However, with the latest development, you can receive the enhanced AR experience on your supported ARCore devices. Google notably replaced project Tango with ARCore in December and discontinued support for Project Tango in March. Soon after the formal discontinuation of Project Tango support, the search giant announced the rollout of a list of new games, shopping and hope, and creative app based on ARCore 1.0 to support the advanced AR platform.

As its name suggests, the Google measures app leverage AR to measure surfaces using the camera of the device. You just need to move your phone to analyse a seen and drag the virtual line over the object or a particular surface to measures its dimension. Also, you can move closer to view the virtual line on the screen from different angles and once measured, you can take a photo to save the measurement. The app has both imperial and metric units to match your requirements. 

When it comes to the compatibility, the Measure app now works with any device that supports ARCore. The list of ARCore-supported devices is quite wide and so far includes various models from companies such as Asus, Google, HMD Global, Huawei, LG, Motorola, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony, and Xiaomi.

You can download the Google Measures app on supported devices directly from Google Play Store or get its APK file from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/measure/measure-2-0-180618036-release/ APK Mirror.

Interestingly, the expansion of the Google Measure app comes weeks after Apple announced its Measure app for iPhone users that brings a measurement tool using AR tech. Apple's app is initially a part of devices running the initial iOS 12 beta, though it will be widely available following the public release of iOS 12 sometime in September.

How Viruses are spread on our computer

Today I am back with my new topic which is based on How Viruses are spread on our computer Let's start !! A program that has the capability to infect other program and make copies of itself and spread into other programs is called Virus. A Virus can be identified if our system:    Takes a long time to load applications.     Has an inability to boot.     Shows unpredictable program behavior.     Has strange graphics appearing on the screen. The types of viruses are:   File Virus, which infects and replicates when it gets attached to MS-DOS program files with EXE or COM extensions. Boot Sector virus infects the boot sector of the floppy disk or hard disk.   Macro Viruses insert unwanted words or phrases in MS Word or Excel. How Viruses are spread? It seems to be a common belief that viruses are spread by games, by Internet file downloads or by Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs). The truth is more intricat...
