Android

Surveyor is an android application that can help you measure distances with the help of camera and orientation sensors on your phone.

It uses data from orientation sensors and the camera image to determine 3D coordinates of the object you selected and then give you the distance from the object to you or another object.

All you have to do is simply point your phone to the object and then click its video image on the screen at the point where that object touches ground. Detailed guidance have been integrated in the Surveyor application for your convenience.

MemoDroid - A memory training tool on Android platform

MemoDroid is my recent work on Android platform.

It is a tool that can help you memorizing things, including words, idioms, laws, learning materials... anything that you don't want to forget. And it enables you to utilize piecemeal time for this task.

The theory is simple. We know that we need to repeat memorized things every time and often, and the newer the item is, the more often we need to repeat it. What MemoDroid does here is to take over the repetition process and help you manage the item's repeat period.
