During our final year studying Product Design/Design Engineering at the @uniofbrighton we ran the Industry Team! @mc_product_design, @oscar.mike.design, @ellagracedeighton, Katlyn Ojera We set out to increase student industry awareness by organising talks, events and skills building activities. Through networking events and reaching out to professionals directly, we organised an amazing range of different skill set experts for our peers to pull knowledge from. Huge thanks to Dani Clode, Steve Creed, Jude Pullen, Milo Mcloughlin-Greening, Max Male, Kyle Withey, Charlie Martin and Kay Lucas for making time to give the students tonns of knowledge and valuable insights into the design industry. Touching on, designing for the differently-abled, rapid prototyping, fostering a healthy studio culture, graphic design and loads more. We are very happy to be passing the team over to Billy Mingo and Poppy-Joy Cherry-Daniels from the year below us, when they return from placement, who were fantastic collaboration partners. Working with us to organise activities so they're ready to hit the ground running in their year as the industry team. @industrialdesignbrighton

We spent millions of years evolving into human beings with ten fingers and toes, but augmentation designers are now accelerating that process in a fraction of the time. Meet the Third Thumb: a 3D-printed extension controlled by your toes. This tech flattens our evolutionary timeline, moving us from passive products of DNA to active designers of our own physical capabilities. Designed by Dani Clode (@dani_clode), this is an exciting new advancement in the field of human augmentation. #Futurific #Protopia #ABriefHistoryoftheFuture #DaniClode #HumanAugmentation #FutureTech #Evolution #Innovation #Bionics #ThirdThumb #FutureDesign #GreatAncestor #MindsetShift

Researchers just demonstrated human augmentation technology that changes how hands work forever. At the Royal Society Summer Exhibition, researchers from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit tested Dani Clode’s robotic third thumb, a wearable AI-powered prosthetic that adds an extra finger to the human hand and rewrites what human capability means in real time. If artificial intelligence can extend the human body today, the real question is how far human enhancement should go tomorrow. Comment with your take, vote in the poll, and share this with someone who believes AI is only about software. This is not science fiction. As AI wearables, brain computer interface research, and human augmentation technology accelerate globally, this experiment lands alongside real world developments like neural implants restoring movement, AI driven prosthetics enabling dexterity, and robotics research enhancing human motor learning. The robotic third thumb uses sensors and adaptive machine learning to integrate with the brain’s motor cortex, proving the human brain can quickly map and control an additional limb. Think of it like adding a new keyboard shortcut to your body. Students could type faster, engineers could handle tools more efficiently, parents could multitask with daily tasks, and tech enthusiasts could explore how artificial intelligence merges with biology. #artificialintelligence #HumanAugmentation #WearableTech 🎥 MRC CBU / @dani_clode

What if five fingers aren’t enough anymore? 🤯 
Researchers at @CambridgeUniversity created a third thumb prosthetic, a wearable device that gives you an extra finger, controlled by sensors on the big toe. 
It’s helping scientists explore how humans and machines interact, and users are adapting to it within minutes. The future of biomedical engineering, prosthetics, and human augmentation is here.
