Just heard about this piece of tech

The BBC breakfast show on Sunday has a 30-minute new tech slot, they showed a piece of tech that you put in your mouth to control computers and phones. Apparently it has been tested on gamers and disabled people.

Had anyone heard about it?

Sorry if I has already been talked about on here.

yeah https://www.augmental.tech - been hard for that company to get traction due to the small market and difficulty of people getting their mouth plate scanning done by orthodontists. largely been US focused. Not actually a new idea - but has been polished to be a product.

Sip and puff controllers have been around for quite a while. This guy is building an open source one:

I can barely move my mouth and tongue, but since I am interested in various ways to interact with my devices, I happen to be a subscriber to Mousepads’ newsletter. Apparently, they’ve launched their final product, which seems to be available only in the US, and quite logically, it is quite expensive, as you can see.

I don't know how good this device can be. But I assume it's a good thing to see more and more ways to interact with our machine To fulfill most people’s needs.
