Konami has teamed up with prosthetics company Open Bionics to create a prosthetic arm cover themed after the one worn by Venom Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Now, the first such cover has been distributed in the United States to TikTok artist Laiken Olive.
A post on the Metal Gear Twitter account shows Olive, 21, wearing the prosthetic from Open Bionics, titled the “Hero Arm.” It sports the same red and black color scheme as Venom Snake’s, but that design is optional. In the post’s comments, Olive clarifies that the base of the arm is black, and its red sections are a cover. “Having changeable covers means I can be like Venom Snake, Iron Man, BB-8 and so much more with just a pop on and off of the covers,” Olive said.Venir de Tragamonedas Gratis Online
While the arm can’t recreate Venom Snake’s abilities, it can create realistic hand movements. According to a press release, the custom-built prosthetic uses myoelectric sensors which detect muscle contractions. Those contractions are then converted into movements by the hand.
