## Description

Hypsometer is a practical Chrome extension designed to measure the height of trees and other tall objects effortlessly. Utilizing a basic reference height (default 160 cm), users first click to mark the base of the subject, then click a distance button to compute the distance. Subsequently, aiming at the top of the subject provides an accurate height calculation. The tool assumes the measurement position is level and requires the user to hold their device horizontally, as lateral inclinations are not corrected.

Ideal for forestry enthusiasts, researchers, or anyone needing quick height measurements, Hypsometer provides a user-friendly interface with adjustable reference heights from the settings menu. The extension was developed with visual support from "Wooden information sending base" via http://www.wood.co.jp, showcasing a relevant icon picture.
