[bourgogne]

It must get annoying after awhile

[GefJeff]

Jesus, imagine Jacking off with that.

[QUOTE=tehMuffinMan;29935533]It must get annoying after awhile[/QUOTE]

Probably better then having no hand.

[Trunk Monkay]

Must be a weird feeling, knowing you're controlling a hand, but having no feeling in it at all.

[labbet]

in 10 years:
full functioning CYBORGS
in 20 years:
'Ghost In The Shell' like shit

How many more years until these are actual options for amputees?

>10. :v:

[phlexiglass]

How exactly do bionic limbs work anyways?

[Applecrap]

I can't wait. I love how he can turn the thing all the way around. Imagine going up to somebody who couldn't tell you had a robot hand and doing that.

Assuming they were quieter of course...

[NightmareXx]

well we got the hard part working, making the brain communicate with circuits.
give it a 5-10 years and this shit will be relatively cheap and work much better.

[milkandcooki]

He's missing his middle finger.

[xpod1]

[sp]its his thumb[/sp]

[TheTalon]

if I had a hand missing... I'd be using velcro shoes

I never asked for this...

Muscles contract when they receive an electric impulse from the nerves.
Connect nerves to a machine that makes the parts move when they receive an electronic impulse.

Rest is just trying to get the technology down well enough.

[meowmynips]

His forearm looks a bit like the Portal Gun :v:

It's funny because he did ask for it.

[smurfy]

For something that exists right now and has actually been put to use NOW, rather than just being this idea that some lab guys had, this is fucking unbelievable

[Itszutak]

Did anyone else find it odd that the guy testing the arm kept referring to it as "the hand" instead of "your hand" when talking to the guy with the hand?
