Designed by the EDO Design Studio, the 'MeasuRING' is intended to provide the blind or those with a more intuitive experience when it comes to measuring lengths.
The 'MeasuRING' works by providing wearers with a responsive bit of feedback every 10-centimeters that are measured. The total length measured can then be totaled by the device to provide wearers with a more comprehensive approach to measuring lengths and design in general.
The 'MeasuRING' is a low-cost product that's worn on the finger and that features a lightweight design aesthetic. Aside from measuring lengths, the 'MeasuRING' also offers users the ability to calculate radius.
The 'MeasuRING' features a ridged silicones strip that prevents the device from slipping off of the measuring surface when it is being used.
