I wonder if the world will change to yellow when performance enhancing augmentations are created.

How can one call them 'disabled'?! They are _enhanced_!

My vision is augmented.

I'm graduating with a BS in neurobiology the end of this semester. As ridiculous as it sounds, Deus Ex Human Revolution peaked my interest in neural/prosthetic interfacing so much that I am actually considering focusing on that once my graduate work is done.

I love this. Ghost in the Shell and Deus Ex are a glimpse into our future. I dream to be cyberized in my lifetime.

For those with major wounds, cybernetics are totally OK. For people wanting to upgrade because they think it's better, that's nuts, but I don;t think it's medically unethical. For your job or advertising companies to push that you upgrade, irregardless of Dues Ex anti-rejection drug scenario, That's utterly unethical. Personally I preferred Starwars take on the subject. Sort of a 'Meh, they're useful' approach. I'd say the same thing for nano mechanical and genetic augs, both of which I'd say are far superior to Mechanical augs like Dues Ex.

Probably the most thorough, interesting and right on awesome PR video I've ever seen. When will my motorcycle helmet have on-screen traffic information and instant road-surface scans? Can't wait, won't be long 'til it's here :)

This is simply the best example of excellence in docu-marketing I've ever seen. Bravo.

This was pretty interesting :)

this is perfect

Great work Rob! Love it.

Deus ex, bravo on the amazing trailers and documentaries. Also bravo on an amazing game and amazing premise.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution inspired by Ghost in the shell?!

A kid just figured out how to reduce the price of a bionic arm from like $40,000 to about $2000. A kid. That's how much it costs HIM to make one. A company using his methods could make them for even less. As technology develops it gets smaller, better, faster, and cheaper almost exponentially. It's only a matter of time.

Excellent idea and treatment of the material.

I have never been in awe of an advert until now.

Impressive, Rob! Thank you.

It's chilling to know that this sort of thing can appear in our lifetime. Human augmentation to the level shown in Deus Ex.

Absolutely fantastic documentary! Thank you for this, it's full of hope for many people!

wow.. Those eye augmentations. All the micro information presented to you about the world. That's so amazing! I would definitely trade up my human eyes for that!

Fantastic documentary!

mind blowing video just awesome to see how close and how far we are.great just great.

That is the best augmented reality thingy I've ever seen.

I love the subtle things in deus ex as well. Like the sunglasses weren't to just look cool, it was so people wouldn't be weirded out by his eyes. Brilliant game.

Cool documentary, much appreciated! The Singularity is indeed near!

Great documentary, thanks.

This is absolutely amazing!

We studied a bit of this in university when I did a unit in Bioethics, it's probably the single most interesting thing to debate about in this world today. I cannot wait for the future.

wow that was a really cool and interesting documentary

I'm gonna start playing this game tomorrow. So excited!

I really like that a game company puts focus, time, money and effort into a documentary around real social subjects; Replacing lost limbs with artificial limbs. Just because their main character is a cyborg and are already deep into "replacing your limbs"-part.

i seen this video so many times. its awesome.

Awesome documentary.

The fireman's augmented reality helmet & interface has real potential , I can absolutely c that being used by them, police officers especially, the military , & many more, now that's definitely an advancement and has major potential 2 really change things.

I was thinking a lot about prosthetic arms last weekend when I played a lot with the game. You need a torso that can withstand the force that goes through on your body. That must be some firm stuff, so it must be heavy. So you need sturdy legs to take the burden. So it's not an easy task. But I hope it will be available in the future! Great video.

This is amazing. Very amazing to see this field of technology advancing. There is much hope for the future.

Can't believe I never saw this video before. It's awesome!

The part of this entire emerging field of study that I find most interesting isn't just the amazing things future prosthesis will be capable of, but the actual materials that will be used and how they'll mitigate the immune response. I understand that this is an issue in the game (still trying to get my hands on it)? If I could afford to go back to college, that would be the field I would go into personally. Finding optimal materials for both function and host acceptance.

Once again he is not talking about his camera alone. He is also talking about two other bits of tech that could lay a foundation for building things like augmentations.

this is truly amazing stuff. its like im watching ghost in the shell in real life.

This is fucking amazing. I can't wait for the future.

@QWieke The song is called Sarif Industries from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack

What a fine documentary. Nice to see technology being developed for positive uses such as limb replacement. What never ceases to amaze me are the comments youtubers post...

"Can you flip the bird?" LOL.

wow the future seems so close this is amazing

I wasn't expecting that sick surgical part. GAH

Very cool that a video game can raise awareness of something like this.

Incredible. Cutting edge innovation.

the knee and the fire mask is pretty sick

This is fucking awesome, man!

"The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed." - William Gibson

My vision is augmented I'll never stop looking

worked at 1080p. thank you!

i am beyond amazed right now.

Loved it. Also the website name probably should have had a dash in it, heheh.

I love your work. Will you be doing a Kickstarter to raise money for the project?

I hope there's a 2nd part that explores how we're actually starting to make these prosthetic limbs a part of our bodies like with technologies like ITAPS.

In the game, the HUD is described as a retinal enhancement which means the HUD is actually in his eyeballs. Not sure how he's able to focus on it and the world around him at the same time, maybe the signals of the HUD are sent straight into his optical nerves in stead of being projected into his field of vision. Seems like the optimal solution since the HUD would then follow his vision even when turning his eyes in their sockets.

id like to see this made into a full feature documentary, i would paid to see oit

I knew we had come a long way in prosthetic innovations but I did not know it was this far. When you see this video and compare to to the base prosthetics in Deus Ex, you can really see similarities between them. This is really interesting technology. Given, I wouldn't intentionally replace my fully functional body parts but, if I lost one, this video helps me feel like I have options. Thanks for this video. It really is inspiring.

DIDN'T EXPECT THE BEGINNING EYE SURGERY PART GODDDAMN

AMAZING!!

The fire fighter mask is awesome hands down!!!

I had no idea we were this advanced, I mean I knew that there were robotic legs and arms, but in twelve minutes they just showed all of the Deus Ex basic augments and how they can be upgraded its amazing. I can't wait to see how this will turn out in the next decade.

This is crazy awesome

It's likely possible we won't have to wait that long. Check out things like the bebionic 3 artificial hand, the retinal prosthesis projects from TED talks, things like the iLimb's latest models and whatnot else. We're definitely not THAT close,but we're getting there fast.

miikka was blind since hes born hes sight know has inprooved tremendously

This is fascinating. Also, I'm looking forward to getting this game!

this is so amaaazing!

the thing i want probably extra hard-drive imply into my brain so i can remember many thing and never forget unless i want to delete it

@QWieke It's from Deus Ex Human Revolution soundtrack, you're looking for either track called Icarus or Main Menu theme. You can find both on youtube.

The firemen's mask is just amazing. Things like that will completely change the world.

The Second Human Renaissance is upon us. Can't wait to be able to have cybernetics.

Speechless !

There is an olympic sprinter and marathon runner who had her forelegs replaced with springy metal 'feet'. She now runs far faster and far longer than when she had legs almost immediately after recovery, to the point that they disqualified her from further Olympic competition.

Best. Documentary. Ever.

One limiting factor in the power of these prosthetics, in being stronger than our natural limbs, is, I think, the possibility of having a prosthetic ripping itself from the flesh. So they'd either have to be severely throttled, or the person would have to opt for a full synthetic chassis, or perhaps some sort of exoskeleton.

Interesting documentary.

Thank you for replying. There are many scientists and experts in this field that say the prosthetic/robotic limbs of deus ex are very likely to exist by the year 2027, some say even sooner like Hugh Herr. But they are talking about the limbs. Not the other crazy stuff like upgrades or augmented weaponry or destroying a wall with your hand. The technology that human beings produce is always quicker to evolve than we expect

Hey that firefighter mask is the first step in making the Crysis 2 Nanotech armor.

My body is ready for augmentations.

I'm glad to be born within 3 years of when adam was born. I really look forward to seeing how much this will envolve in the next 10-20 years.

The one about the retinal chip is mind blowing considering complications When do you think we will get the neuro wiring problem fixed?

For the second time, we have laid a foundation that could help point us in the direction of the tech found in Deus Ex regardless of how far or close.

This is one of the most amazing things I've seen in a while. Science is AWESOME.

man this is so cool

And that exactly was my point; in the game this "extra endurance" allows Adam to sprint a whopping 15 secs max.

This is god damn amazing.

Oh gosh, not even 20 seconds in and I have to watch a guy's eye being cut out! Man, eyes just freak me out.

LOL @ 4:29 shows off his arm... "like these ones" XD

World is better because of you. You can`t Imagine the feeling of loosing a part of your body. Thank you

phantom limb syndrome, your body has actually lost the body part but your mind thinks its still there, still sending the signal from your brain allowing you move your muscle on your lost limb thus making bionic arms a possible in the near future.

Excellent video. Does anyone know what the song that comes on around 11:50 is?

In the game it's generally dealt with by a drug that keeps your body from rejecting your augs. In Adam's case things are a bit different of course.

Have a look at "Targeted Muscle Re-innveration (TMR) for Advanced Prosthetic Control" on youtube. That's a VERY crude version of the prosthetic Jensen has for his arm (connected to the nerves in the arm etc and giving a sense of touch). 2027...(setting for Deus EX:HR) seems a fairly good ballpark for the tech.

That's so friggin' awesome. Guys, we're close to having weaponized augmentations. Trust me!

I suppose it might be possible. It's just hard to imagine being able to focus on two points at once like that.

What incredible men. Not only do I love to see artistic masterpieces such as Deus Ex portray an envisaged fantasy with interspersed elements of the imagination and innovative, thought provoking ideas, I love even more to see them come to life in reality. This is the net stage of evolution.

This is so badass
