Smart Fingers Turn Your Hands into Rulers
- wazoox 16y agoThis is almost it. They missed it, by just a little. There is no way you'll persuade people to use these weird things. However, disguised as a pair of rings and a a wristwatch, I'd want!
- Jun8 16y agoWhat's the technology behind the measurement? It would be nice to duplicate it using two cellphones.
- kenthorvath 16y agoMy hands are already rulers: Distance from tip of thumb to tip of pinky = 9 inches when fully spread. Distance from base of thumb to tip of index finger = 6 inches when thumb is at right angle. Combine two hands to measure a foot. Max spread between second and third fingers = 3 inches.
- nimai 16y agoI thought "smart fingers" would be another "measure your own hands" hack, perhaps with improvements and tips of some sort. Who exactly would buy these things? They're clearly not designed as a precision measuring tool, but how often do casual users need to measure things? Enough to give up a socket or two to the wall-wart this thing will require?
