Smart Finger turns your fingers into a digital ruler

Distance measuring device,” which combines the natural human urge to measure things by eyeballing them with the ruthless precision of electronics. Data is obtained by beaming a signal from one of these thimble-shaped finger straddlers to the other and calculating how long it takes to traverse the gap between the two. Then you can get fancy by storing distances inside these silicone shells’ built-in memory and using them to work out the volume of a given three-dimensional space.

The concept can measure length, breadth, and volume and the measurement is displayed on a screen on the device. Inside the Smart Fingers is a soft silicone material that is able to conform to the size of the individual’s fingers so the thing fits anyone snugly. You can wear the sensors on different hands for measuring larger items and I would assume you could give one to someone else to measure really big things up to a certain point.

It is a device that caps your thumb and forefinger (or any 2 fingers) and uses the signals relayed between the two finger points to calculate the measurement.

• The Smart Finger is made from silicon to offer a comfortable fit to any finger size.
• It can help measure length, breadth, and volume in a very intuitive way through simple button operations.
• The distance (measurement) is calculated on the basis of the time taken by the signal to beam from one finger tip to the other and back.
• The measured distance is displayed through LED.
• The device sports 2 buttons that help display the measurements in different units, record and store the measurement, calculate volume and area plus view the information in text format (details on how to operate are explained in the images).
