AccessRuler

Disclaimer: This app requires a Leica Distance Laser Meter.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the R2D2 Center has released the AccessRatings for Buildings MiniTools apps that include AccessRuler, AccessSlope and AccessSound. AccessRuler can be downloaded on iPhones or iPads.

AccessRuler is an app that measures distances for accessibility purposes. This tool uses a Leica Disto Meter that connects to an iPad or iPhone via Bluetooth and automatically imports the measurement from the ruler into the app. The app allows users to add comments, save their measurements to a list within the app, and export the measurements through email.
