London-based product designer, Dani Clode designed a third thumb to change the way people think about prosthetics. Clode believes that prosthetics extent a wearer's ability. They shouldn't be regarded as a replacement to part of the human body. The third thumb is made from a series of interconnected parts: a hand piece, an attachment, cables, motors, and two Bluetooth controllers.

I'd be careful if I were these scientists. First, it's an extra thumb. Next, it's 4 extra limbs. And finally, Doctor Octopus

I was utterly confused as to why it was called the "third" thumb when we only have one.... and then I realised we have two hands... faceslap

Its all fun and games until an evil mastermind gets his/her hands on one of these, just to create some extra arms

am I the only one here who's slightly disappointed that the thumb was controlled by your toes and not some sort of interface with nerves so it actually acts like a different part of your body?
