SPEEDPAINT AR for iPhone Pro & Max
********* IMPORTANT NOTE: This app only works on iPhone Pro & iPhone Max *********
Instructions:
1. Place Floor & Ceiling Markers
Open the app and point the target at the floor. Touch-select the screen to place the marker- a blue sphere marker will appear in the selected location. Point the target at the ceiling and repeat the process.
2. Select Walls
Point the target at a wall or ceiling you'd like to paint and touch-select the screen. Once selected, a green tint will overlay the targeted wall and a UI display will appear on the right side of the screen indicating wall dimensions and area.
Select as many walls as desired for a particular room, including the ceiling if needed. Each time a wall is selected, its length, width, and area are displayed on a UI display panel on the right side of the screen. The total area for all selected walls is stored and updated for each room.
Walls can be deselected by touch-selecting a previously targeted wall. The wall will revert to its normal color and the total area section of the UI display will update accordingly.
3. Calculate the Amount of Paint Needed
Enter the coverage for the selected paint in square feet per gallon using the slider on the left side of the screen. The Paint Needed section of the UI display will update as the coverage amount is adjusted with the slider input.
On average most interior paints cover 300 to 400 square feet per gallon depending wall roughness, spray-tip size & air pressure, roller/brush material, paint quality, etc. For that reason a 10% buffer has been added to the Paint Needed calculation to ensure coverage for as broad of circumstances as possible.
4. Repeat for Each Room, Paint Type, or Paint Color
Touch select the Room button each time you want to add a different paint color or paint type. SpeedPaint will store the final room Area and Paint Needed amount for each room, allowing you to store separate Paint Needed totals for each room or paint color. This is ideal for cases where multiple paint types and/or colors are going to used for a project. Be sure to log the Area and Paint Needed totals before closing the app.
Notes
This app is still in early beta so expect some quirks. Wall detection is implemented via a customized instantiation of ARKit's Plane Detection feature, and results vary unpredictably in low light environments or when there are obstructions such as furniture or artwork between the camera's field of view and the selected wall.
The next version update will include long-term storage to allow project data to persist after the app has been closed, improved plane detection accuracy, and likely some UI interaction-based 'bells & whistles' such as audio and visual FX to enhance feedback from user input.
Let us know if you have any suggestions for improvements and thanks so much for your patronage- We appreciate it!
