This is so awesome. I'm not even afraid of losing one of my arms, or hands... because I know that there's something like this around. Very cool indeed.
Deus Ex 6: You play as Adam Chansen, an augmented security officer of worlds one of the most powerful corporations: Touch Bionics. Explore conspiracies, crawl your way through the air vents, steal and eat chocolate bars from all over the world!
If I ever had to get a prosthetic limb, I wouldnt want it disguised as a biological one. Id be proud of it. I dream of the day prosthetic limbs will be just as functional, if not more so, than biological limbs including increased strength and the ability to feel. Deus Ex anyone?
@LotusDragon09 I wouldn't want a hand/arm one confined to merely human movement parameters. I'd want six fingers able to rotate around a central palm, split into two or three grippers, extend a couple of feet to reach the top shelf or paint the ceiling etc. And of course be able to fold one finger away and assume normal dimensions for things like wearing gloves.
@Geminii27 Now that you mention it, that would be pretty cool. Adam Jensen of Deus Ex could make his hands do something like that (fingers split and whole hand rotates 360 degrees, or something like that). Im more interested in a possible increased strength that these prosthesis could achieve, though. He also had extendable blades in his forearms, but that would probably be illegal. Of course, no one needs to know I had them put in...
@LotusDragon09 Blades do have the cool factor, but they're not much use in daily suburban living. What would be fun is being able to have all the fingers retract and have a four-foot multi-jointed extender able to extend out of the arm, with a bunch of pre-selectable tools on the end - everything from the fingerball (reaching up, changing lightbulbs, picking things off the floor) to the barrel of a power drill and various bits (screwdrivers!) to WiFi detectors and a virtual interface mode.
This hand is still in what I romantically call the "Model-A" phase. Think about how cars have improved in 50 years. In much less than 10 years we'll have hands which are innately more capable than natural hands. In fact, we fully expect people to swap out their hands, or even thier entire bodies for prosthetic ones in cases.
We're just a few years away from superceeding the natural evolutionary process and entering into one that we ourselves are driving. In all fairness to nature...
@TheLifePerfect im sure their will be much debate about it. but in reality their will prob be a notion passed by the U.N that it is illegal to put an artificial limb on someone with an existing one. but i can see nations in secret ignoring this. This is the start, just imagine attaching machinery and weapon systems to be controlled by your brain... Tanks be driven and gunned by one person controlled by their mind, it is scary.
@Baseshocks But think about it. People who try and control others always fail. The only proven effective technique is to set up the structure and then protect it from threats both inside and outside. So, people who are scared of cybertechnology are willingly becoming victims of inevitable progression. Humanity has been reaching out towards this goal for hundreds of thousands of years. From the moment we first picked up a stick and used it like a tool. It's on the way, get ready.
@TheLifePerfect but all in all, its a noble cause and fully support it. their should be a specific tax for limb development and using the funds to give limbs to people who can not afford them.
@TheLifePerfect ill just have to join some undercover organization, underground network of drug lords or some thing, no joke but id trade organs for a chance to try this shit out xD
I still think we have a lot more to learn from natural evolutionary processess and it's likely that humanity will never lose it's need to translate from unguided natural evolution.
Impressive. But I saw a clip of some Swedish/Italian researchers about a year or two ago who had a working cybernetic hand. Though that was not ready for commercial use, so I guess these guys are first. :)
Awesome for all the people it can help, and things like this quickly gets better and more refined as time goes on.
@Superslemmet its because the other one needs the patients to implant a chip in their bodies and some people are too damn paranoid about it...(blame terminator for that)
They slow progress down too much.... That technology was discovered in 2002 and now, ten years later people that really need it still don't have it...
