Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for measuring a workspace, the method comprising:
displaying on a user interface of a computing device, via a processor, running on the computing device, a virtual workspace of a space captured by an image capturing device operatively associated with the computing device;
identifying, via a user interfacing with the user interface, first and second selections along the virtual workspace, wherein the first and second selections define a set of two boundary points of a length of a knowable value;
inputting, via the user interface, a known value of the knowable value;
directly from the virtual workspace, calculating, via the processor, a measurement of the length of the knowable value as defined by the two boundary points on the virtual workspace;
calibrating, via the processor, a calibration ratio between the inputted known value and said measurement of the length of the knowable value; and
applying, via the processor, the calibration ratio against a subsequent measurement by the processor of another set of two boundary points identified along the virtual workspace by the user interfacing with the user interface,
whereby accuracy of measurements along the virtual workspace by the processor of subsequent sets of two boundary points is improved without having to lay physical markers along the space.
