Designs for prosthetic arms based on Deus Ex are to be released royalty-free for use on 3D printers. It follows a man receiving an arm based on Metal Gear Solid.

While the MGS arm was a high-tech one-off sponsored by Konami and designed by an artist, the Deus Ex arms will be manufactured by the same company, Open Bionics. One arm will be based on the Adam Jensen character and the other will be more generic.

While Open Bionics already makes several licensed character-themed arms, the Deus Ex ones will be their most detailed, both in design and function. The Adam Jensen design has a rotating wrist and appears to allow the flexing of the top knuckles by the fingertips; most of the company’s previous designs only flex the middle and bottom knuckles.

To promote the design, the company will be attending gaming conventions where it will use a motion capture allowing people to move their hands and see the prosthetic limb precisely recreate the movements.
