So this is the third thumb, so it's a flexible thumb that's controlled with two motors that's worn on the wrist.

這是第三個拇指，它是一個靈活的拇指，由戴在手腕上的兩個電機控制。

My left foot is doing this movement, so it's pulling up and back and it's proportional so I can go fast or slow.

我的左腳在做這個動作，所以它是向上和向後拉的，而且它是成比例的，所以我可以快也可以慢。

分詞構句

And then my right toe is doing this, pulling across.

然後我的右腳趾就這樣拉過去。

The third thumb is an augmentation device designed by Dani Claude to enhance the function of the hand.

第三個拇指是 Dani Claude 設計的增強手部功能的裝置。

There's so much of this future tech coming out and we're seeing a lot of work where it's tested on people, but to be tested on one or two people is the commonality.

未來技術層出不窮，我們也看到了很多在人身上進行測試的工作，但在一兩個人身上進行測試才是共性。

Sometimes we have a group of ten people might be tested on, but even when they are tested on this larger group of ten, which still isn't much, it tends to be a very specific group of people.

有時，我們可能會對十個人進行測試，但即使是對十個人這一更大的群體進行測試（這仍然不算多），也往往是對一個非常特定的群體進行測試。

So for example, young people, normally university students, often men, which really isn't covering the broadest scope of people who could be using and engaging with these technologies.

例如，年輕人，通常是大學生，通常是男性，這確實沒有涵蓋可能使用和接觸這些技術的最廣泛人群。

Together with the Plasticity Lab at Cambridge University, the team was looking for an opportunity to study how different people respond to this novel technology.

該團隊與劍橋大學的可塑性實驗室合作，尋找機會研究不同的人對這種新技術的反應。

An amazing opportunity came up to be part of the prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in 2022, and this was this incredible opportunity to put this device in front of thousands of people and get them to experience it for the first time.

2022 年，一個絕佳的機會出現了，那就是參加著名的英國皇家學會夏季科學展，這是一個將這一設備展示在成千上萬人面前並讓他們首次體驗的絕佳機會。

So we were able to get a huge amount of diverse users very quickly over the five days of the exhibition.

是以，在為期五天的展覽期間，我們很快就獲得了大量不同的用戶。

We were really interested in this research at looking at how good are people initially picking up that initial motor skill.

在這項研究中，我們非常感興趣的是，人們最初掌握初始運動技能的能力如何。

So in the first few moments of usage, can they really use the third thumb?

那麼，在使用的最初片刻，他們真的能使用第三個大拇指嗎？

We tell them how to control it, we quickly explain how to do a task, and then we said, off you go, do it.

我們告訴他們如何控制它，快速解釋如何完成任務，然後說，你去做吧。

98% of our nearly 600 participants were able to perform the task.

在近 600 名參與者中，98% 的人都能完成這項任務。

We were surprised by just how good everyone was, particularly in the exhibition setting, but also the broad age range we have, really young children to older adults, and everyone could perform the task well.

讓我們感到驚訝的是，每個人都做得很好，尤其是在展覽環境中，而且我們的年齡跨度很大，從幼兒到老年人，每個人都能很好地完成任務。

When you grow up with two hands, ten fingers, this is kind of quite weird.

當你長著兩隻手、十個手指時，這就有點奇怪了。

It's very different to kind of learning how to use a whole prosthetic arm.

這與學習如何使用整個假肢是完全不同的。

Any kind of tool we learn to use in our daily lives requires a little bit of training and experience within the context of our day.

我們在日常生活中學會使用的任何一種工具，都需要在我們的日常生活中進行一些訓練和積累一些經驗。

The thumb is no different, but what's really exciting about the thumb is it seems quite complex from the beginning, and it's really not.

拇指也不例外，但拇指真正令人興奮的地方在於，它從一開始就顯得相當複雜，其實不然。

And that's what we're showing in this study, is that people can quickly, easily use it within one minute, which is really exciting.

我們在這項研究中顯示，人們可以在一分鐘內快速、輕鬆地使用它，這著實令人興奮。

It doesn't take years of training, or even months, or even days.

這不需要多年的訓練，甚至不需要幾個月甚至幾天的時間。

In future we'd really like to work with kids, especially kids with upper limb difference, and that's something we're working towards with the lab.

未來，我們非常希望能與孩子們合作，尤其是上肢有殘疾的孩子，這也是我們實驗室正在努力的方向。

And so, working with kids, you've got to pick up their attention span really quickly.

是以，和孩子們一起工作，你必須很快掌握他們的注意力。

We wanted to make something that is just absolutely able to be used in the first minute.

我們想做一款絕對能在第一分鐘內使用的產品。

From this study, the main takeaway is really thinking about how we can be inclusive in our testing of new technologies, and a more iterative design process based on this testing.

從這項研究中，我們得到的主要啟示是真正思考如何在測試新技術時做到兼容幷包，並在測試的基礎上進行更多的迭代設計。

So that's the main thing we want to employ in the community, is thinking more about this design testing in large, diverse ranges of users.

是以，我們希望在社區中採用的主要方法，就是更多地考慮在大量不同用戶中進行設計測試。

More specifically for the third thumb, we've now tested it in these large, diverse groups of healthy users.

更具體地說，對於第三個拇指，我們現在已經在這些大型、多樣化的健康用戶群體中進行了測試。

We also want to now look at people with more motor disabilities and motor impairments.

我們現在還想關注更多的運動殘疾和運動障礙患者。

So how can we be more inclusive in the third thumb design, so it's useful for these groups of people?

那麼，我們如何才能在第三根拇指的設計中更具包容性，使其對這些人群有用？

How can it be used, and how can we adapt the design, so it's optimal for them?

如何使用，如何調整設計，使其最適合他們？
