‘A mouse for your mouth’: New device allows users to scroll with their tongues

MouthPad^ is a new device that allows users to scroll through smartphones using only their tongues. Created by Augmental, it is a retainer-like trackpad chip that sits on the roof of the mouth and can sense tongue movements. The device was developed to be a helpful tool for those living with disabilities, specifically those with hand impairments or paralysis. It connects to any tablet, phone, or computer through Bluetooth. The company also hopes to extend the device’s capabilities in the future, with additions like voice and wheelchair control. The product is expected to hit the market later this year.
