not so much practical…They actually have this device, and saw them measuring length of stuff in distance on the video..However,,,they always had the error between 0.5meter-3 meters which is huge..

and in case any one is wondering. using lasers in your product does not make it more accurate and neither does digital.
it sounds great from a marketing perspective, but if you try to get something made in real life it will take a lot more design effort independent of the “laser” and “digital” parts to get it to work properly

thank you, i was about to mention the same thing. I think the equation only works with at least one known 90 angle, right? It is there between A and C but not labeled. And the photo is deceiving.

if this was able to workout mathematically, you could avoid the shaky issue by using a built in camera to take a snapshot of the laser at a single point in time. then use image processing to calculate the length between the two dots. You know the angle in the device “Z”, then you can use an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance from the wall. Then require the person to face the wall head on so you are at a known 45degree angle.. Haven’t worked out the math on it but its off the top of my head right now.

Actually, even simpler, i wonder if you can also project a single laser line like the leveling devices do. That line is projected onto a wall with two corners, like the photo. and the image sensor will know where the end of the wall is because the line breaks and bends around the adjacent wall. Again still need distance measured from the wall.

cool idea
