       It'd be helpful to explain the idea in a bit more detail, rather than just sending people to a link. Also, the link is just a design concept, not a product. How would it measure the distance between the two elements?

       I thought this would be an accurate way of measuring fingers themselves.   

       Apparently married couples corrolate most closely in size for their finger length (index or middle, can't remember which), so that might even be useful for dating services.
