Your index finger has many purposes; just add plus one to it! Thanks to the Finger & Ruler concept, you can measure the dimensions of an object by simply rolling the ruler over it.

For most people, using a typical tape measure is normally not a problem. However, you always need two hands to manage. If one hand is injured or unusable, the Finger & Ruler makes it possible for people to measure the length or width of an object with just one hand. Simple and functional, we really think this is a great concept!

With a quick swipe, the ring immediately displays the length of an object. The Finger & Ruler fits snugly around your finger so that you don’t have to fumble around with a large tape measure.

Designer Shim Ha Eun created the high-tech ruler using simple concepts. A wheel rolls along the surface that you swipe on in order to feed dimension data to the ring. That information is then displayed on a crisp display at the top of the device. The Finger & Ruler is a 2013 iF Design Award concept design winner.
