Spider-Man isn’t a fan of Doctor Octopus’ tentacles, especially in the ‘Spider-Man 2’ film, but inventor James Bruton most certainly is. He wanted to see if it was possible to build a better Doc Ock tentacle using joints made from Stewart platforms, or a type of parallel manipulator with six prismatic actuators.
Italian Extreme Modders transformed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GamingPro GPU into a Spider-Man-themed design as part of Palit’s ‘Maker’ project, which is essentially an open-source database of 3D files for users to customize their graphics cards.

A new Unreal Engine 5 Spider-Man tech demo has surfaced, and you’ll see the web-slinger exploring New York City like never before. This is not footage from an upcoming game, although the character is inspired by Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man model, but a fan-made demo, complete with open-world exploration.

Marvel fans probably already know that the Iron Spider is basically powered exoskeleton used by several characters in Marvel Comics, most recently by Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Recreating this with all of the technology is impossible, but building something that resembles the exoskeleton is another story, and that’s where Hacksmith Industries comes in. First, the team had to build the four metal arms before designing a backpack-sized hydraulic system for it.
