The multi-functional ruler created by the HMM Project, entitled Rule/One, is a compact ruler that has been updated to suit the needs of the 21st century.
The ruler is five inches in length, black and white in appearance and made from milled aluminum. Its most unique feature is that it has a pen that pops out that also comes with interchangeable heads -- including a ballpoint and a lanyard to hang it up. The pen even comes with a stylus nib so that the modern multi-functional ruler can be used on smartphones, tablets and iPads -- taking the traditional ruler and adapting it to function alongside modern-day technologies.
The ruler would be perfect for a variety of consumers and specifically people who are in the business of design. Graphic designers, architects, artists and fashion designers could all find use for this compact and modern tool.
