Furthermore, some of the top-tiered companies in the handheld laser distance meter market have also introduced smartphone applications that can be connected with handheld laser distance meters and directly transfer data in the form of photographs, floor plans, and numbers to end-users’ electronic devices. Digital transformations in the major end-user industries are expected to make this trend popular in the upcoming years.

Definition

A handheld laser distance meter is a handheld instrument that can be used to measure distance by sending a finely focused laser pulse in the direction of the target and calculates the time taken for the reflection to return. On measuring the time between the two events, a handheld laser distance meter converts it into distance.
