Building a Photo Annotation System for AR Measurements

Annotating AR measurements onto photos requires solving the persistence problem — AR markers disappear when you close the app. Wonder Ruler's approach is elegant: freeze the AR view as a camera frame and overlay measurements as persistent graphics.

Architecture considerations:

  • Store measurement coordinates relative to image pixels, not world space
  • Render annotations as vector overlays that scale with image zoom
  • Export as standard image formats for sharing

The AR measure photo system has been used in thousands of renovation projects.
