Augmented Body Artists: Laser finger beams
1. Laser finger beams.
I could not find the artist/creator of laser finger beams. These toy finger lasers have not yet ventured into weapons territory but hold potential for future development as an augmentation of the human body.
Military laser weapons development has been in place for some time now. Rangefinders, and target finders are common. Lasers are also used as an incapacitizing weapon, causing temporary or permanent vision loss.
Another term for laser weapons technology is DEW- or directed-energy weapons. Appearing mostly in science fiction, these weapons transmit energy to a target. This type of lethal transmission is currently under military research and development. The U.S. Army has made a laser capable of destroying a plane, but it is electronically powered. If they can use chemical power to transmit the laser, it would be more feasible for them to attach to the fingers, and create laser finger beams capable of taking down large objects.
