Selfie sticks" are very popular around the world. Many people continue to use selfie sticks to take selfies while traveling and post them on social networking sites. However, if you are the only one in the picture, your followers may find out that you are a "lonely guy with no friends," a situation that those who have been pretending to be satisfied with themselves on social networking sites would like to avoid.

Selfie Arm" is a solution to this problem. The "Selfie Arm" was jointly developed by artist Aric Snee and Justin Crowe.


Selfie Arm" is a selfie stick that realistically reproduces the human body from the elbow to the fingertips. A smartphone or other device is attached to the elbow, and the hand is held to take pictures. The captured image will show another person's arm (or something like it) in addition to your own, giving the impression that you are traveling together.





Justin Crowe, one of the co-developers, recommends creating a social networking account dedicated to "Selfie Arm. After uploading images taken with "Selfie Arm" to your social networking sites, you can "Like" them from your "Selfie Arm" account. This allows people who do not have any friends to like the images. This way, even if you don't have any friends, you can get at least one "Like". even if you don't have any friends. Crowe insists that this is not an act. Selfie Arm" liked it, not you. and not you.


The material is fiberglass. It is much lighter than it looks, and his hand does not get tired even after taking several pictures. The artist also claims that it is easy to carry.

That said, the "Selfie Arm" is so realistic that many people would be surprised to find it sticking out of their bags. If it is found at the baggage check at the airport, it would be quite a hassle to explain.

Snee and Crowe are selling signed prototypes (limited to 10). The price is $6,200 (about 740,000 yen). If you would like one, please contact Mr. Aric Snee.
