Vulcan Salute Device

To slow the spread of COVID-19, the CDC recommendations include social distancing. Social distancing includes restrictions on our cultural greetings. No longer can we shake hands, high five, fist bump, hug and kiss. Several other forms of greetings have evolved, such as, the elbow bump and foot bump; but, these are also discouraged by the CDC.

That leaves a friendly wave or the Vulcan Salute. But, what I've noticed is that many people cannot perform the Vulcan Salute. This is most prevalent among those not of Vulcan descent. As an aid, I designed this prosthetic device to help those whose genetic predisposition prevents them from performing this salute.

"Live long and prosper."

I have included the Fusion 360 file so that you can make modifications.
