Virtual Reality Prosthetics

On the evening of 14th April 2016 we invited the general public to join us at an interactive open event to find out more about how our brains control our movements, even when using prosthetic limbs.

With the help of prosthetics wearers James Young and Kevin Evison, we heard more about issues of design and function, and debated aspects of limb loss versus society’s views of ‘normality’.

Also during the evening we were able to spend some time with James and capture his experiences on film which we will incorporate into the exhibitions in the future.
