Deterica Kit: Bionic Hand

Have you ever wondered how a bionic hand knows which fingers to move, and how far? This app lets you find out for yourself. Move the lever and the hand on your screen opens and closes. Choose a grip (Power, Key, Pinch, Point, Rock or Hook) and the fingers fold into its shape. Behind the screen runs the same control logic as in the real Deterica hand, so the hand you see moves the way the real one does. Things to try: • Turn the hand in any direction and zoom in on the details • Make the cover see-through and watch the mechanism at work • Swing the thumb across the palm, as on the real hand • Switch between a left hand and a right hand • Pick your own colours for the hand, the pads and the buttons • Follow the short guide, one control at a time Made for students, teachers, engineers, makers and anyone who wants to understand how these hands work. Deterica began with the founder's father. The hand on your screen is not a drawing: it is modelled on a hand that exists, and this same control has already moved it. You can watch it on deterica.com. The Deterica Kit, a small desktop kit with a real lever and two buttons, is in development. When you have one, the app finds it over Bluetooth, follows its lever, sends it grips and keeps its firmware up to date. Free. No account, no ads, and no data collected. The Deterica Kit is a demonstration kit and a training kit.
