Audio Ruler

The new way of measuring distances with your iPhone

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 21% of June 2020

What it does

Unusually to other apps, the measurement process is based on the sound. Specifically, the distance traveled by a sound way from point A (phone speaker) to point B (earphones). The algorithm behind the app is fueled by advanced math! It's pure science!

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
