Finally, designers of prosthetic limbs are getting smart, not bothering to try to make them look natural, and instead making them look like superior robot arms. This one, for instance, has a greater range of motion than your boring old natural arm. As pointed out on Gizmodo, "Imagine if this arm had been covered in a pseudo-flesh toned rubber. Your brain would acknowledge the piece as something that didn't fit. Maybe because this arm isn't trying to look real, my brain accepts it as part of the image with ease." Cool, yes, although perhaps this image is throwing a little too much PhotoShop and coordinating blue eyeliner at it.
