With the Third Hand attached, it becomes a split body - on the LHS (left
hand side)
voltage in, generates involuntary limb motion; on the RHS (right hand side)
voltage
out (using electrodes on the abdominal and leg muscles) actuates the
robotic Third
Hand.
Sensors on the arms, head and left leg allow the body to become the
video
switcher, and video mixer, structurally connecting motion with image.
Involuntary
motions from the body will also generate sampled body signals and sounds.
