In these movies her costume consisted of blue makeup and some strategically placed prosthetics on her otherwise nude body.

It has its own external prosthetic devices, and these devices are helping us all to communicate and interact with each other.

In games and virtual worlds, for example, your facial expressions can naturally and intuitively be used to control an avatar or virtual character.

Measurement based on observations of facial expressions, using the Facial Action Coding System and microexpressions (see Paul Ekman), or on modern functional brain imaging may overcome this objection.

So facial expressions as I mentioned before in emotional experiences are actually designed to work out of the box with some sensitivity adjustments available for personalization.

They're called body powered prostheses, which were invented just after the Civil War, refined in World War I and World War II.

On the left hand side, you see his original prosthesis, and he's using those switches to move little blocks from one box to the other.

Attached to the facial bones that define our face's structure are the muscles that deliver our facial expression, our universal language of expression, our social signaling system.

Every time you contract a muscle, it emits a little electricity that you can record with antennae or electrodes and use that to operate the motorized prosthesis.

Using a grid the size of your thumb, with 32 electrodes on the surface of his brain, Tim uses his thoughts to control an advanced prosthetic arm.

And then the transducer then makes the output cells send the code on up to the brain, and the result is a retinal prosthetic that can produce normal retinal output.

There are some drug treatments, but they're only effective on a small fraction of the population. And so, for the vast majority of patients, their best hope for regaining sight is through prosthetic devices.

But we also looked at numbers of other films at the time that were using facial marker tracking, and that's the idea of putting markers on the human face and doing the same process.
