A 50-year-old Swedish woman who lost her hand in a farming accident has been fitted with a cutting-edge prosthesis that has proved transformational.
This is one of the coolest damn things I’ve seen in a while, she’s a true cyborg!
I think the coolest thing is that she has a limited sense of touch.
There’s always lots of jokes about what a shame it is we don’t have the flying cars people dreamed about in the past but if you ask me things like this not being more ubiquitous is the real shame! This is incredible and I hope we see more in this space soon.
Totally agree, this makes a lot more difference than all the stuff they predicted in to 40s and 50s.
This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.
Nice! I figured someone had done something like that before.
she's a true cyborg!
Some how I bet it actually cost $6,000,000
you forget that in europe, the insurance probably has to pay all that money.
And you forget that in Europe there's no insurance, but an ACTUAL NHS!
(not to mention that, being a prototype, was probably free)
I think you missed what their on about. Probably you weren’t growing up in the 70s
It’s not the up front cost that makes the investors money, it’s the maintenance plan.
That’s gorgeous both legs, the arm and one eye
FINALLY we are getting one of the cool parts of the cyberpunk future!
I want one
Which limbs are you ready to cut off?
You can teach your body to use extra limbs, I’m going full Doc Ock.
It will cost an arm and a leg!
God damnit if this isn’t the perfect superhero movie waiting to happen
Marvel, get on it. Miss Bionic Saves The World, I want it in films by 2025
Nobody said they expected it to fuse. Only that it just...did. There's your origin/accident-in-the-lab scene.
Cyberpunk or Ghost in the shell vibes.
How long has she been using it? It says
So has she been using this for two decades? Some years but less?
Seems like they connected it after using more traditionals for a while?
No, it says she was without her right hand for decades, and that she got this one three years ago. So I assume she did not use traditional prosthetics?
Science bitch!
vi är borg
I didn’t see it in the article, but that hand seems to be missing a wrist, right? So far “only” the fingers and the thump are driven.

Looking forward to hearing that the arm stops working after company folds and nothing can be done because the software was closed source

And then someone on GitHub develops ‘Arm ReVanced’ which allows the user to shoot electric bolts.

Any then google buys it just to soft-lock any users who aren’t using the ChromeLimb137-c.

Can we have one postive news article without the gloom and doom, please.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is the problem.
People think common sense is “doom and gloom”

skulbuny@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah, that one. Definitely wish it was FOSS so these people won’t be dependent on corporate intellectual property existing.

I am looking forward to see the repo man collecting it since it was only a licensed company asset, especially since it is fused with her own tissues.
