Who Presented:
Christian Ristow: The Hand Of Man is an enormous (25 feet long) human right hand and forearm, hydraulically actuated, and made of steel. It is controllable from an ergonomically accurate "glove" controller which ANYONE can stick their right hand into. Anything this lucky person does with their flesh-and-blood hand will be accurately and quickly reproduced (but with thousands of times the amount of force) by the giant hand.
