    Hey all,

    Do you know of any AR unity framework that supports measuring and works on both iOS & Android?
    I'm working on a proposal for a client and am trying to get clear how much work we'll have to do twice!
    I don't believe Vuforia has any easy, built-in meausring support, does it?

    Thanks in advance!

    I dont believe any will support this natively, its normally something you would build yourself.

    I recommend looking at OpenCV as you could use that on many devices to read points from a camera, and then could combine that with world anchors, and get the measurement between the two.

    Still, working out how big that is in real world, will be the hard part. I have no idea how you would go about that off the top of my head, but hopefully somone else can chime in here!
