first, how about a bionic hand?

walking a fine line in relation to uncanny valley, imo.

then there is a new way to handle hydrogen:

ammonia (nitrogen and hydrogen), boron and hydrogen? that stuffs just about everywhere, iirc. And whats left may perhaps even be used as a fertilize, unless i am totally off target.

and following a link from the latter, a real life horizon corp:

the future is indeed now it seems. Now where did i put that simsense module...

I don't know about simsense, but I linked to PixelOptics earlier for showcasing a technology that should lead to a hands-free method for interacting with a computer. At least, I hope it will. I sent them an email to see if they are working on such a thing, or if they'll let me build it for my senior EE project. Who knows? They might even say yes. Or at least not laugh too hard.
