Design looks really simple. You could probably make a version which could be worn over your hand at a game convention with a few weekends of swearing at your 3D printer, an Arduino and a stepper motor. Give it a bit of paint and it would look really creepy.

I would rather be interested in adding a limb for certain activities - a branch of prosthetics that has been underused. Replacing limbs is cyberpunk, adding limbs is creepy in other ways.

It's more useful than most "hand" prosthetics, which is why hooks are generally more popular than a full "hand"

Yes...yes... soon all the amputees will have tentacles... then... when the hum... I mean we...  have the technology to regrow limbs using stem cells and genetic splicing... well... they won't want... hands... Now will they?  I already prefer hooks to meat ten... I mean... hands.  /|\(;,;)/|\

TMI dude.  Keep your shokushu goukan out of my Cthulhu!    ;)

(but if that don't trigger some creepy visuals, I don't think anything will ... )   :blink:
