WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Won’t someone think of the poor working class furries? A fur suit can already cost 10 or 20 grand. Now they’re going to have to add cyborg body parts to the mix as well? Talk about gentrification!

Also these ears will help to uh, absorb the echoes and extra noise of the world around you. Yeah.
interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Wait, I … could make human-cat hears that actually have microphones in them and that turn towards the gaze and they could actually ear out of them if they’re wearing linked earphones … could even do some psychoacoustic filtering to give some kind of “superearing” ability … Then some cunt like Elon is going to just steal my idea… meh. … eff it

contrary to popular beliefs real cat girls do exist in Japan. there is more information on the internet redlib.orangenet.cc/r/realscatgirls . unfortunately it’s on reddit not on lemmy (yet).

Is it prehensile? This could lead to octopus-like abilities if you added more than one.

Theres a few companies that make moving tails (and wings) for a few hundred USD, but they tend to be waitless rather than designed for balancing

I was a bit surprised because I had never heard of that research group, but apparently they are not from the engineering department, but from media design.
Here is some more Info, if anyone is curious. But it seems more like a concept paper, than an extra prototype.

You already have the nerves there, and it’s quite trivial to connect them to a neurotransmitter, especially since the patent expired.

I don’t have a fursuit.
The really frustrating thing about that fact is that I commissioned and paid for a fursuit, and yet I have no fursuit.

Money for elderly that can prevent them from needing very expensive nursing home care is a huge market with no limit if the product works well. Especially for Japan but really everywhere will have increasingly large cohorts of their elderly people with not enough young people to care for them.

Same for this Tail, there are better system to solve postural problems, walking difficulties and other physical issues. How will you simply sit down with this tail? Or precisely in Japan, entering in an Subway with it?

Is that photo AI? All the videos of the real prototype look substantially different.
Sergio@lemmy.world 1 day ago
At best it’s concept art, tho that thin strap probably wouldn’t serve the purpose they’re looking for. At worst it’s generated by clickbait article writers.
How could they pass up an “electrified facehugger penis sheath” image like this?

WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m just imagining the scene in a sci fi comedy.
“I thought you said we were getting mechanical tails? Why the Hell is this attached to my front?”
“Experiments determined that this was actually the more effective and cheaper option. Don’t worry, a front tail works just fine for balance!”

That one looks attached at the front ...
NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
You’re right, it seems. That video is old (6 years), but I couldn’t find any photos or videos that look substantially different from it.
“Arque tail” is the keywords to search for, if anyone wants to do their own research.

Apytele@sh.itjust.works 17 hours ago
honestly the best posture advice I have ever gotten is to sit like I have a tail (you would have to tilt your hips forward and stick your butt out behind you to put the tail up behind you rather than curling your tailbone under such that you’d be sitting on the tail).

Finally something to balance the enormous mass I have in front.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 day ago
In all seriousness, human elderlies are actually evolutionary anomaly, because if Darwinian tenet of “survival of the fittest” applies 100% of the time, they would not be the norm. But the fact that old people are prevalent in human society is the proof that we are compassionate and loving creatures that transcend cold evolutionary programming. We care for others and the vulnerable.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 day ago
The next thing I need is an articulated mouth and the ability to spit fire. And spikes on my back!
For balance as well, obviously.
