Most of us rely on our trusted alarm clocks to wake us up every morning to go to our schools and offices on time.  How would a deaf or a hearing impaired person be able to get the same advantages of the alarm clock if he would not be able to hear the alarm?  With this device though, people with hearing impairment can wake up every morning and get to their daily activities on time just like an average person.

In older times, body parts like the arms, fingers and the hands were originally used as measuring devices.  But as people searched for new ways of translating accurate and precise measurements for building and construction, the measuring techniques of using body parts were later replaced by mechanical tools as this proved to be more accurate than the former.  Now, as technology becomes more advanced than before, it seems that we shall see the return of the old technique of measuring with our bodies but more accurately with the help of this measuring device.
