And form what I've heard, George Lucas isn't really the litigious type. He probably thinks this shit is awesome and doesn't mind the fact that he may have played a role in inspiring it.]]>May 29th 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/
If he tried to sue, this guy would hunt him down via his neural tracking device and rip apart his limbs with the greatest of ease.

But srsly, can a normal human adapt to operate extra limbs via mind control? Would we have to have this since birth for our brains to wire itself for it? Im really intrigued.]]>May 29th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/
I know when I'm working on computers or cars or even cooking sometimes another arm would be super convenient.

Also? Borg fantasies.]]>May 29th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/It's like the HAL suit, we can all have our own Goro arms in less than 50 years. The only problem, is that by then we'll have gestures and mind interfaces with computers.. only certain physical tasks would be worthy of dropping however many Gs on a second set of arms. The majority of your needs would be met by thinking or gesturing anyway.]]>May 29th 2008 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/

Or posting on engadget without typing.

I am surprised that adults can learn to use neural interfaces. I woulda thought it would have to be learnt as a kid .. like learning a language or sports.]]>May 29th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/
In fact, here is a pretty good article (even if the technology is slightly different): http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/05/29/healthscience/29brain.php?page=1]]>May 29th 2008 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/

This technology is cool though. On Switched they had the monkey doing this. Glad too see they already have it for humans too. This will really help people who lost limbs due to IEDs. ]]>May 29th 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/May 29th 2008 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/dean-kamens-luke-arm-now-has-mind-control-and-3d-spatial-interf/
I would do horrible stuff with this, please keep it away !

On a serious note, this is frigggggin' awesome, attach 4 of these to the super computer mentioned in the other post, attach a cannon to it and it would surely take over the world...
