Open Bionics, who have previously collaborated with Disney for Marvel and Star Wars-inspired prosthetics, will produce an arm based on the game’s protagonist Adam Jensen.
The Deus Ex video game franchise, which is itself set in a world where human augmentation through mechanical prosthetics is the norm, seems like a natural source of inspiration for prosthetic design.
Together, Eidos Montreal, Square Enix, and OpenBionics are working on the development of two Deus Ex inspired bionic arms, which are set to be finished in 2017. The first model is inspired by Adam Jensen’s own bionic arm, and the second is described as the Deus Ex Universe arm.
Additionally, the companies have partnered with Intel’s RealSense and Razer’s Stargazer divisions to create one-to-one mapping between a real and prosthetic hands.
Robotics startup Open Bionics has created an artificial arm based on the augmented human character, Adam Jensen, in Deus Ex. It’s part of a bigger merchandising plan to bring the universe of Deus Ex to life. The prosthetic arm and hand operate via remote control, using Razer’s Stargazer camera and motion-tracking technology. Intel also helped. I used it myself, flexing my fingers and making a fist, and watched the machine mimic my own actions.
