Artifact Critique:
How does the product solve or attempt to solve your problem or a similar one? What are
some good and bad attributes of the item? What unique aspect does the product add to
your overall research?
The tolerance of this device is good, but can be better. The devices range is too limited for
professional use in my opinion, but it works for everyday measurement such as room
length, window width, etc. The device measures volume and area but not angle and we feel
the addition of angle would be really helpful.
