What is your project about and how does it work?
SUGOI LAB's SUGO Finger doubles the number of your fingers.
It changes your manipulation ability, sense, everyday life, and even our mind.
No motors! No sensors! No electronics! And No software!
Even No assistance or connection to your any other body parts like legs.
It employs easy link mechanism only, and gives perfect function.
As you wear SUGO Finger for several hours, you can live with it.
We emphasize the totally unique point of SUGO Finger.
It extend fingers by serial dimension, not by parallel dimension which all of other similar devices take.
On this Earth, Animals have developed manipulation organs; limbs and fingers, and evolved them little by little.
The evolution has extended our ability, sense, spirit, and civilization.
SUGO Finger is an innovative experimental device along with purpose.
We SUGOI LAB continue to extend our Human Extension Project.
