# Limitless Measuring Tapes The Infinite Ruler Offers a Digital Reading and a Wearable Ring Design By M | Published 2016-05-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-ruler References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/05/16/to-infinity-and-beyond/) & [about.me](https://about.me/maybego) The Infinite Ruler designed by Yang Fan and his team offers consumers a limitless measuring tape that is designed for modern use and flexibility. The ruler omits the need for a tape to measure surfaces, and instead features a digital reader to measure things of all sizes -- without the usual five metre restriction. The appearance of the Infinite Ruler greatly diverges from a traditional measuring stick. Firstly, the device opts for a [digital display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidar) for a much more accurate reading of distances and length. The device is also meant to be [worn as a ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picoring) for hands-free measuring. The top of the tape has a button that objects such as string, material and more can be secured into to garner an accurate measurement reading. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wearable Measuring Devices:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative measuring devices that can be worn as jewelry. - **Digital Measuring Tools:** Potential for companies to create accurate and convenient digital measuring devices with more features than traditional measuring tools. - **Limitless Measuring Technology:** Trend towards creating measuring devices that offer infinite measuring capabilities without the restrictions of traditional measuring tools. ### Who This Affects Most - **Jewelry Industry:** Opportunity for jewelry companies to incorporate measuring capabilities into their products and offer unique and convenient features to customers. - **Construction Industry:** Potential for construction companies to use digital measuring tools to increase efficiency and precision in building and renovation projects. - **Manufacturing Industry:** Trend towards using limitless measuring technology in manufacturing processes to increase accuracy and reduce waste in production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rolling Portable Measuring Tapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neorulergo.md) - [Digital Design Desktop Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neoruler.md) - [Sleek Rounded Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enso-tape.md) - [Smart Measuring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hozos-neorulergo.md) - [Titanium EDC Rolling Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiroler-20.md) - [Magnifying Measurement Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-sizes-ruler.md) - [Connected Professional Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acegmet-dtx-10.md) - [Digital Laser Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-laser.md) - [Digital Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidar.md)
