Hand Of Man
The Big Day Out is Australia's premier rock festival. I didn't think I'd go to another Big Day Out but this year had Neil Young as the headline act.
It was an interesting mix of crowd - from the baby boomer Neil Young fans, the Generation X'ers (myself included) who've been attending the BDO since it started in the early 90's, and the current Gen Y crowd.
As part of this years side show was The Hand Of Man, which has been to all the Australian Big Day Out shows for 2009.
The Hand of Man is a hydraulic mechanical hand that is controlled using an ergonomically accurate glove. The hand responds to the movements of the operators own hand movements and the mechanical hand is big enough to crush a small car.

If you can't see video watch Hand Of Man.
