Ever wondered about the actual size of an object and how it would compare to everyday items like a sheet of paper? Do the additional 6.4mm depth of the HTC Touch Pro in comparison to Apple’s iPhone really matter? It is easy to compare the values and see which device is larger or thicker but it’s difficulty to actually know how that size difference looks in real life.
Sure you could use a ruler to get an understanding of how the objects compare to each other; Or you could visit Sized Up, a website that visualizes objects in 3D. Working with the service is a breeze. All that is needed are the height, width and depth of at least one object in millimeters or inches which will then be generated by the service and displayed as a 3D object.
It is possible to enter multiple items to compare them against each other or pick one of the default items from the service like a box of matches, a CD case or different paper sizes.
Every comparison that has been saved by users of the website can be looked at. Most items are electronic items like mobile phones and laptops but you find the occasional odd comparison like a Boeing 747 and Antonov 225.

I’ve known about this site for about a year, and although I don’t use it much, it is very handy to have in your web tools. I found it especially usefull when eyeing up netbooks, to work out size vs features.
