Prosthetic limbs get sexy with new design
A designer has come up with plans for a "sexy" range of prosthetic limbs which he says can turn a handicap into a high-performance, cybernetic fashion statement.
Hans Alexander Huseklepp, from Norway claims his designs, called 'immaculate' could revolutionize the fake limb market.
Immaculate, says the industrial design student, is a state of the art neurological prosthetic, which could connect to a wearers central nervous system allowing control of the hand.
Unlike many current prosthetic arms it does not try to blend in with a flesh-colored plastic and instead looks more like a prop from a sci-fi movie like iRobot.
But wearers will not have an excuse for being late, there's a digital watch built into the arm.
Because the elbow and wrist are globe joints, the users are also said to have more movement than a normal human arm.
