Dimension measuring method using augmented reality

A method for measuring a dimension by using an augmented reality space generated by superimposing a virtual space on a real space,

• the augmented reality space being generated by processing a video taken by a camera by a processing unit and displaying the video on a transparent screen,
• the dimension being measured by measuring a distance between one real measurement point and another real measurement point by using a gauge including a first probe that is brought into abutment against the one real measurement point and a second probe that is brought into abutment against the other real measurement point,
• in the virtual space, one virtual measurement point corresponding to the one real measurement point, another virtual measurement point corresponding to the other real measurement point, a virtual first probe corresponding to the first probe in the real space, and a virtual second probe corresponding to the second probe in the real space being displayed,
• the method comprising:
• a first step of determining whether the virtual first probe is in contact with the one virtual measurement point;
• and
• a second step of determining whether the virtual second probe is in contact with the other virtual measurement point.
