That seems to work a little better for me in terms of accuracy. This approach is different in that this is using a fixed eye position and overlay measure on the camera image and then working out the arctangent etc. Clever.
As did I, quite some time ago. I found it did a poor job with rooms that had actual stuff in them, -particularly the corners. Seemed cool but I discarded it as an option even without an alternative. RoomScan has been making its way around the blogs and I tried it out the other day. It did a great job of capturing my non-rectangular kitchen (after I failed at my first attempt by ignoring the instructions to touch each wall, then the 1st and 2nd wall once more, then ending). Roomscan > for spaces with stuff and/or narrow spaces, or Magic-Plan > for empty spaces more wide open was basically my experience.

Here's an alternative with a more interactive work flow: http://magic-plan.com/ .

Tried it. More bells but difficult to make accurate. Hard to use if you can't see the floor corners of a room or if dealing with short narrow spaces.

Easy enough to try both though.
Considering I'm only using it for getting a general layout of rooms for my wife and I to place furniture, this is awesome.
