The Approximetre

Group Work
London
2022

The Approximetre was designed under the current circumstance where “taking accurate measurements” in our daily lives becomes frustrating. “Why do everything need to be so accurate?” The main concept is about combining measuring tools, such as ruler and level, onto a pair of working gloves. In this way, the process of taking daily measurements becomes quick and efficient. The issue might be that the measurements are not fully accurate; therefore, we created a much more intuitional and fun way of displaying the approximate readings. The Approximetre is able to measure approximate distance up 6 metres; it can also be used as a level to check if a surface is flat. We used arduino codes to fulfil the main functions including measuring and displaying.
