Deus Ex documentary on augmentation and prosthetics

To mark the release of the cyberpunk adventure Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the game's publisher has released a fascinating documentary about the real-life tech behind cyborg hero, Adam Jensen

The main character of Deus Ex is a mechanically enhanced cyborg revolution, which many cybernetic additions give him a series of people (or it should be post-human) forces. But how likely we are to such physical augmentation until the game look 's-setting 2027?

To find out, the game 's publisher Square Enix commissioned Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence, to explore the current state of physical augmentation and augmented reality displays. Spence lost an eye in a shooting accident as a teenager and has since built a wireless video camera in his eye socket, which he all that he sees record.

During this fascinating 10 minutes film, he meets several people from cutting augmentation technologies, as well as firefighters the testing of a new AR-suit, they have benefited with information about their surroundings, including the presence of dangerous chemicals during fire fighting.

Anyway, it 'sa little more interesting than the usual promotional trailer - although if you' re squeamish, watch out, there are brief scenes of medical operations.
