I’ve mentioned this before, but with all the hype about the monkey arm the perhaps more important and impressive prosthetic from Dean Kamen and company deserves attention. Wired’s Gadget Lab has video from his presentation at D6.

Dean Kamen’s Prosthetic Arm #

February 5th, 2008 | In Worth Seeing 

A few years ago the Defense Department decided to look seriously at prosthetic arms. Dean Kamen and Co. heard the call and have created something that looks straight out of science fiction. Though it doesn’t work quite as well as Luke Skywalker’s fake hand — for which it is named — it is impressive and seems a big improvement over any prosthetic I’ve ever seen.
