Glowing Hands of Rave
By Tom Newsom
These will be prosthetic, fingertip-to-tendon-controlled, 2x life size, fully articulated, glowing hands, for the purposes of throwing huge shapes at music festivals and other events suitable for glowing freaky things.
I've built a finger prototype out of lego: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8zPzE80ygk
I've designed (most of) the parts for cutting on the laser: 
It'll be cut from 3mm acrylic, with nylon snap-fastenings for hinges and bearings. It'll have a lightweight translucent plastic cover, with pieces cut from pingpong balls for knuckles and fingertips then a fabric outer made from white stockings. A load of white LEDs throughout the interior to light them up.
Deadline: 8th March, in time for BLOC festival. Documenting this here is part of my motivation :)
