Title: Would you rent or buy an exoskeleton?
Post by: gunug on September 12, 2009, 07:14:40 AM

I have a friend who has problematic knees and she thinks the Segway is an ideal thing to have to go about the city in.  I suppose that these early exoskeleton devices would also be nice for people with mobility limitations of some kind:



I liked the video of three people strolling around Tokyo but halfway expected that Godzilla might be lurking behind the next block of buildings:

Also in that same issue there was a link to a remixed version of William Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and I must say I never dreamed of Captain Kirk dancing with Ricky Ricardo:

Hmmnn...does that thing come with death ray guns in the wrist area?

BTW, what is that hairy thing with simulated eyes on the top of that contraption? Almost looks like a head!
