Hans Alexander Huseklepp has designed a prosthetic arm that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.
The 'Immaculate' concept prosthetic is fully functional, connecting to the central nervous system of the wearer. As well as making a superior prosthetic which has more flexibility than a human arm, Huseklepp has managed to turn it into a fashion statement.
The traditional angle has been to make artificial limbs look as realistic as possible, but this model throws conservatism out of the window - and it looks amazing.
