Prosthetics with aesthetics
Concept prosthetic porn:
This prosthetic arm was designed by Hans Alexander Huseklepp, a designer in Norway.
It is designed to be connected to the wearer’s nervous system, like the most advanced, but less aesthetically designed, prosthetics currently are.
Because each of its joints is a globe joint it is capable of a larger freedom of movement than a normal human arm.
The exterior parts of the arm are made from the plastic Corian, the inner layer is textile.
This image is a model built to demonstrate the concept.

It’s the same as in this post, minus the chica.

I wonder how those ball joints would work, mechanically and “neurally”.
Yup, same arm as before, but it’s still a lovely piece. I know that if I ever lose a limb, I’m not going to be asking for a “realistic” replacement. I’d want something sleek and functional. Forget mimicking the lost flesh, reach beyond what was there before.
