The Universe of 'Kept Tears' - post three

[jana_denardo]

You can find me at Michael Rupured's blog today talking about why I chose to make Aaron (points to the dark-haired man in the icon) a disabled veteran. Also go enjoy other posts by Michael. You'll find other fun things to read, too.

I don't want to repeat myself here so let me add a few things that I didn't to that post. Aaron suffered an explosive transhumeral amputation of his left arm. In lay man's terms, his arm was blown off mid-way between shoulder and elbow during his time as a medic in the war.

I wanted to share some of the videos that I used in my research. They are fascinating stuff.

This, the oldest of the videos, is the one I based Aaron's prosthesis on.

This one is in line with Paul's art (though it seems to also rely on using electrodes worked by the feet).

This one got me looking at the University of Pittsburgh and inspired Aaron's current field of study (granted not on the surgical side of it).

and one of the more recent ones, they're learning to allow these prostheses "feel" and I can't imagine anything more amazing.

I hope this glimpse into Aaron's world was as interesting to you as it is to me. If you want to see other posts in this series, click on the Kept Tears tag.
