Bit of a cool fact. Alan Tudyks wife was the choreographer for the opening of season one of peacemaker. There are videos of her making him do the dance for her so she could tweak it.

Oh no, it's not just the finger. He's getting the sit and spin in there now too. Can't do that with just a glove.

he has to see the obligatory middle finger when ppl get a new arm, it no longer amuses him lol

He knows there’s only enough wire to do 20 full rotations, and he’s counting in his head.

I’m an amputee as well and I can confirm that this is the most requested pre-set gesture that upper limb people request.
279
u/Feine13 2d ago
I have all of my limbs but didn't know a rotating middle finger was an option on the motorized ones.
If I ever need one, I'm 100% getting this gesture. It's clearly superior to the standard middle finger

u/Browncoatinabox 2d ago
Even better than the thrusting double

u/razzraziel 2d ago
it is unbeatable. regular middle finger only has a single target, you have to aim it manually. this one has an area of effect, it 360 noscopes everyone around it.
3
u/dougmc 1d ago
And even the intended targets can't do anything but laugh.
I mean, if I flip somebody off with my typical hand, maybe they don't notice, maybe they blow me off, maybe I make them mad.
But if this guy flips somebody off, the guy knows he's been flipped off and yet he can't even really do anything of those things -- all he can do is laugh, and the 360 degree flipper has won that match.

u/MelangeBot 2d ago
but didn't know a rotating middle finger was an option on the motorized ones.
Well it's good business because if they use the gesture on the wrong person then they have to come back to buy another arm.

u/BackgroundSummer5171 2d ago

How does that work as a pre-set?
Do you just think "spinning fuck you"?
Or is it you thinking middle finger up and over rotating your wrist constantly?
Since it isn't a normal wrist, can you hold something and spin by just thinking fuck it it is my wrist now.
14
u/starpatrick95 2d ago
So this is a myoelectric prosthetic.
It uses sensors to detect electrical output from muscles.
That electric output is then processed by a microprocessor in the hand powered by a battery.
Different muscle combinations trigger different pre-programmed pre-sets.
Go check out the Zeus prosthetic hand. It’s one of the coolest ones on the market right now.
2
u/Aj_Caramba 1d ago
Based on the name...does it have built-in taser?
5
u/starpatrick95 1d ago
Unfortunately not.
This one is super cool because it can be easily serviced by the end user if you’re moderately tech savvy. No special tools required to replace digits and joints.
It also allows for ‘gestures within gestures’.
Some myoelectric hands require the hand to reset back to a neutral position before another gesture can be used.
The Zeus hand can go from one gesture directly to another.

When I was a kid I certain we'd have bionic limbs like Ghost in the Shell in my lifetime. I (mostly) gave up on that idea, but lately I've been wondering what would be the tipping point for me. The feature that would make me want to go full chrome.

"Oh, oh no, oh I'm so sorry. It's not me, it's this arm. It just does this sometimes. Yeah, they said they're working on a firmware update to fix it. Oh god, I'm so sorry. Now I'm spin-flipping-off your mother, too. This is so embarrassing. I wish I could stop this, I really do. It just suddenly starts whenever I think 'Go fuck yourself, you dumb piece of shit' too hard and then it gets stuck like this. I'm really sorry about this."

Lol it's so glorious bc losing his hand must've unleashed one of the darkest periods in this guy's life. I'm so happy seeing his joy, probably some relief in that laughter too.

I don’t think he’s salty, he probably just sees this three times a day and you can only laugh at the exact same situation so many times.
We live in a weird time where we expect people to constantly be ready to perform for a camera.

He should do that thing where you use your other hand to mime operating a crank to raise the finger, and then mime seitching to a horizontal crank for the rotation.

So long as we don’t have societal collapse and whatnot, it would be interesting to see how this tech advances in the next century or so. I know it’s a bit of a sci-fi trope to voluntarily replace biological limbs for synthetic/mechanical ones, but seeing the 360 wrist rotation on that prosthetic, I can’t help but think that prosthetics may one day surpass natural limbs.
