    It's still a prototype and isn't ready for production.

    Probably slightly further along than it was 60 minutes ago but still not production ready. Also it'll likely be given to people by prescription. Though if it is successful there might be an open source version similar to those prosthetic hands that could be 3d printed and built yourself.
