Either those are pics of people without a bionic hand or they have put some kind of creepy skin cover that looks way too much like real skin ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2007 9:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Touch Bionics i-LIMB bionic hand]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</guid><description><![CDATA[That is a "latex sheath which covers the hand that TB claims gives an incredibly realistic appearance."<br><br>What an awesome machine this is, overall.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gt2378b]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2007 9:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Touch Bionics i-LIMB bionic hand]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cute gal, too....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[don.piano]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2007 9:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Touch Bionics i-LIMB bionic hand]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</guid><description><![CDATA[Has anyone ever heard of this one system that's been developed for blind people?  They attach a camera say to the person's forehead, and then display the image in a series of small electrical shocks on the person's tongue--and eventually, with a lot of practice, the person adapts and can "see" through the camera.  <br><br>Why hasn't anyone developed this for bionics yet?  A small patch of electrodes on the person's wrist, and they could be feeling those dynamic touch detection sensations for themselves.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[grjohnston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2007 11:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Touch Bionics i-LIMB bionic hand]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</guid><description><![CDATA[I believe the technology of which you speak has already been developed, but this is a different company, and different companies hold different patents.

I would give anything for him to have a hand.  This hand looks easy to put on over his arm and does not look heavy. Unfortunately so expensive for South Africans.

Oh well in reality I'm glad they did people need it. Maybe I can help the people making it better and cheaper to make ect.<br><br>They'll probably beat me to my other ideas as well lol xD]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David Handy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2007 7:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Touch Bionics i-LIMB bionic hand]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/touch-bionics-i-limb-bionic-hand/</guid><description><![CDATA[Having done very little investigative work myself I apologise if what I write next is old hat or such.  Being born without a lower right limb and having used various types of prosthetic substitutes, I am interested in the i-LIMB's level of durability.  Having 4 mini motors to work the fingers independently, how long do these motors last?  How often would the limb potentially need to go 'in the shop' so to speak?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[claire]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 9:54AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
