The ‘Calipers’ software mentioned in this article is a blatant rip-off of our own Screen Calipers software. The user interface and the functionality has been poorly copied by a publisher who has not identified us as the originator of the idea and has proceeded to create this software without our permission.
The screenshot shown above is actualy our software and not the one linked to!
I strongly urge everyone to support the hard work that went into the idea of the Screen Calipers by not downloading this application but instead using the original here:

Our software is priced at $29.50, and without it there never would have been this poor imitation.
I also urge A-Scene to remove this link to the AIR Calipers and not support this breach of our copyright.
