A metal for measuring, leveling, or straightening is something well-developed that no more needs any improvements. But a newly launched gadget takes the whole thing to a new level.

Dubbed “Smart String”, the device comes with 50 feet of 20 pound string that can easily wrap around objects or measure along curve roads. But much cleverer design lies on its screen, which automatically displays the measured distance to 3 decimal places of accuracy. It also gets a built-in calculator for you to recall any 3 measurements stored in its memory. To sum up, this is almost the best fully-functioning measuring tape we can ever get.

In spite of with careful work, good sight and a delicate ruler, time and time again we read out the wrong figures especially when they’re in centimeters and millimeters. However with the New Rule, this situation wouldn’t arise any more, because it features a wheel to display bigger numbers of the millimeter measurement. Another innovation is that the ruler can work in the same way as a caliper so that it can ensure more accurate measurements.

About 2000 years ago, the great mathematician Archimedes concluded that anything shaped to displace the same amount of water as that of its weight can float on the water. Inspired by that principle, Muzaffer Kocer and Ayca Guven have collaborated with the Water Scale, a measuring device that can read out the weight of the object placed onto the scale plate. It can weigh anything within 1000grams, and it doesn’t cost any energy or result in any pollution- really a green device for household use.

You must have noticed that body parts can be used as measurement devices, so there is ‘a foot’ and ‘an arm’s length’ to describe the distance between two items. Inspired by that, Choi Hyong-Suk, Jung Ji-hye and Yoo-Jin Park have collaborated with the “Smart Finger”, an innovative measurement device that caps your two fingers and uses the signals relayed between the two points to bridge the gap. After that, the measured distance will then be displayed through LED.
