MIT spin out Augmental (f. 2019) unveiled the MouthPad in April 2023, a hands-free touchpad for controlling computers, smartphones, and tablets with your tongue, especially designed for those with disabilities.
The 7.5g Bluetooth device, positioned across the roof of the mouth, offers a tongue-driven interface, that remains virtually invisible to others and promises over 5 hours of continuous use.
Produced from dental-grade materials and utilising the latest in 3D printing and electronic encapsulation, each MouthPad is custom made to fit each user’s mouth and teeth.
The device was further showcased at CES last month and is currently available via an early access waiting list, with a general sale set for later this year – price so far undisclosed.
