The present invention relates to an optical measuring devices and method of
using the device. The optical measuring device utilizes a plurality of
lasers attached to a plurality of interconnected legs to optically
determine CENTER, LEVEL, LENGTH, DISTANCE, and PLUMB related to a measured
object. In an exemplary embodiment, a user can sight reference laser beams
at a first and second point on an object. A mechanical interrelationship
between the interconnected legs of the device orientates a laser beam
emitted from the center laser at a point, which is equidistance between
the reference laser beams. The optical measuring device can include a
level, a distance finding attachment, and or an electronic system 500.
Electronic system 500 functionality can include, but is not limited to,
data processing, data communications, GPS enabled applications, user
interface, and distance and angle determination interfaces. The optical
measuring device is preferably compact, pocket sized, and portable.
