How high should I hang this picture? How wide should I design this worktable? How tall should I make that bookshelf? These are the questions that an app called Ergi helps you answer.
Ergi makes use of official government standards to create a simple, attractive interface that allows designers to either reference common benchmarks, or to enter specific criteria about the age, gender, and relative height (short, tall, average) of the clients they are creating things for.
Ergi does one thing and does it well. The app is an excellent tool for designers to use while actually designing or to share with clients while moving through the design process.
Ergi is a bit pricey relative to other apps, but you only have to use it once to resolve a design issue with a client (or to avoid an embarrassing error!) and Ergi will have already paid for itself.
You can find out more on the Ergi website. Ergi is currently available for iOS only.
