Jonathan Kuniholm's right arm terminates in a carbon-fiber sleeve trailing 
cables connected to a PC. He has no right hand, unless you count the virtual 
one on a display in front of him. The CG hand, programmed to look like silvery 
stainless steel, moves through a sequence of motions: spherical grasp, 
cylindrical grasp, thumb to forefinger -- all in response to signals from 
Kuniholm's muscles picked up by electrodes in the sleeve.
