Tongue controlled computer mouse

A company in the US has just released a computer mouse that’s controlled entirely by your tongue.

Developed by Augmental, the MouthPad is designed to give people with mobility challenges a hands-free way to use computers and smartphones, offering an accessible alternative to invasive brain implants.

Custom-made to fit over your upper teeth like a slim dental retainer, it works via a pressure-sensitive trackpad resting against the roof of your mouth. By combining tongue gestures with head tracking, you can easily move a cursor, click, swipe, and trigger keyboard shortcuts.

The Mouthpad isn’t available in Australia yet. Watch the product video below.
